The Chicago Zoning Committee unanimously approved the new Chicago Blackhawks practice facility and community hockey rink for the site of Malcolm X College on Tuesday, reports Chicago Tribune's Danny Ecker.
The vote will head to a full city council Wednesday.
1 note on Blackhawks facility. This was for planned development itself. Sale of the Malcolm X land ($24.3M) to Hawks & Rush still needs OK.

Walter Burnett, Jr., Alderman for Chicago's 27th ward, announced the facility will also have a to be determined restaurant.
