The Southeast Neighbors For Quantum coalition, formed by about 20 local businesses and residents, supports the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park. This project is part of the larger Quantum Shore development, which includes a hospital.

Groundbreaking for PsiQuantum's facility occurred in October 2025, marking the start of job creation in quantum computing. Local residents, including Jorge Perez and Sharon Brown-Latiker, emphasize the need for authentic representation and oppose protests from outsiders. The coalition views the quantum park as a significant opportunity to revitalize South Chicago and address past economic neglect.
