Statement from Mayor Thomas M. McDermott Jr. Regarding the Chicago Bears Announcement

“The Chicago Bears chose Hammond, Indiana because they see what I have said for years: Hammond is a successful city of opportunity and possibility, an excellent choice for such a significant investment.

The city of Hammond and the entirety of Northwest Indiana will benefit from this transformative investment. 

I am proud to have partnered with our state leaders to secure this win; I’m grateful to Gov. Mike Braun, Speaker Todd Huston, Sen Ryan Mishler and our local legislators who pushed this deal over the goal line!”
