Rendering of AV Chicago’s new headquarters in Maywood Event production company AV Chicago is moving from the South Loop to suburban Maywood where it will expand its footprint and transform a former military armory AV Chicago held a groundbreaking event with local officials on Thursday to kickstart the redevelopment The event company is spending upward of $4 million on the project AV Chicago co-owner and co-President Justin Frick said Property records show an affiliate of AV Chicago purchased the former armory for $1.2 million in December “It allows a lot of room for expansion,” Frick said It was built in 1923 as a Moose Lodge clubhouse and automobile camping ground aimed at club members who wanted to spend the night in the suburbs rather than the city The future headquarters of AV Chicago at 50 Madison St The facility was used by the Illinois National Guard 33rd Tank Company in the 1940s when 122 men were inducted and served in the 192nd Tank Battalion in the Philippines It’s also been home to Saltzman Printers and Reuse Depot the building will be renovated to include offices production space and a 7,500-square-foot event space called The Armory The entire building spans 43,000 square feet and Frick said its transformation into an event space is one of the most exciting components of the project The space — with its vaulted ceilings — will be able to accommodate events ranging from weddings to galas and theater performances There will also be two wedding suites and dedicated catering space Another nod to the building’s history will be seen with its renovated lobby which will celebrate Maywood’s soldiers and their sacrifice The redevelopment is a big step for AV Chicago which has rented space in the South Loop for the past 13 years The event company has about 35 employees and expects to grow once it moves The event industry was hit hard by the pandemic with about 30% of the industry’s employees exiting during that time He said AV Chicago hopes to work alongside Maywood to create new jobs and bring the company’s headcount into the 40s It’s also exploring new internship opportunities with schools like Proviso East High School but the company is outgrowing its South Loop office.He said it needed a new home with room for expansion and an active labor market someone had suggested looking into the former armory as a potential office AV Chicago

Copyright Information A hearing was held in Frontier County District Court Monday on a motion challenging the “sufficiency of the evidence” of the Felony Child Abuse charge against Maywood Public Schools Superintendent Mark Bejot The case stems from a Frontier County Sheriff’s Office investigation into an October 1 2024 confrontation that reportedly occurred between Bejot and a 12-year-old student in the Maywood Schools’ Commons Area Both Bejot and the student tumbled to the floor during the interaction During Monday’s Plea in Abatement hearing Bejot’s attorney Mark Porto challenged whether there was enough evidence presented in Frontier County Court to bind the case over to District Court for trial Porto questioned whether elements of the Child Abuse statute were met Nebraska Assistant Attorney General Demetria Herman is prosecuting the case She said that while Bejot could ask the student to remove their hat the Superintendent had no authority to seize the hat from the student She continued that the Superintendent had other means of maintaining order Both Porto and Herman pointed to Preliminary Hearing testimony and the 1.5 minute surveillance video of the incident Both items were entered as evidence at the Plea in Abatement hearing District Judge Patrick Heng took the arguments under advisement and will issue a ruling at a later time a status hearing on the case was scheduled for March 19 After charges were filed against Bejot last October the Maywood Board of Education issued a statement stating that Bejot was placed on paid administrative leave Their statement continued that placing an employee on administrative leave is not any determination of guilt or wrongdoing An investigator with the Nebraska Attorney General’s Office filed a report with the court indicating that the Maywood School Board voted at their December 16 2024 meeting to reinstate Bejot as Superintendent and he returned to school on the following day The Frontier County District
