After months of negotiation, Tribune Publishing has agreed to leave the Freedom Center printing plant in River West by July 2024 to make way for Bally’s Chicago Casino.
Bally’s, which bought the 30-acre site last year, will give the newspaper company a “series of cash payments” in return for its commitment to exit the Freedom Center, Bally’s Chairman Soo Kim said Thursday.
Kim did not disclose the amount of the payments to Tribune Publishing, but Bally’s may reveal more details about the relocation agreement during its first quarter earnings call Tuesday.
