"two aldermanic bills in support of developer Paul McKee's North Side Regeneration Plan took place in 2009. Now that the North Side project seems to have cleared the legal and political obstacles that have stood in its way for years, perhaps the original plan to restore the Clemens House can be salvaged before it is too late?"
