Mayor outlines several commercial projects: U-Haul relocation, Jack in the Box, Zaxby's

Mayor Tom told viewers the U-Haul on 65th will relocate to a larger site at Calumet & Kenwood and called it a "big project." He clarified recent work on Calumet Avenue was sanitary sewer repair by the Hammond Sanitary District and not related to the U-Haul project.

Separately, staff said the city expects a Jack in the Box at 165th and Calumet and a Zaxby's north of City Hall in the former police garage parking lot. "There's gonna be a Jack in the Box at 165th in Calumet," the mayor said, and confirmed the Zaxby's location to the north of City Hall. No construction timelines, permits, or business contracts were shared during the livestream.

City officials encouraged residents to monitor forthcoming press releases for details and thanked public works and sanitary crews for recent infrastructure work that restored Calumet Avenue to full capacity.
