Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle recently announced plans to revisit redevelopment of the 100-year-old Cook County Hospital building, which closed when John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital opened as a replacement facility in 2002. The Civic Federation urged the County to consider selling the property as it would be challenging to identify adequate financial resources within the County budget for such a project.
