An eggroll manufacturer would expand its operations from The Hatchery food incubator to a Grand Crossing warehouse through an $859,238 Neighborhood Opportunity Fund grant proposed to City Council today by Mayor Brandon Johnson.

Twisted Eggroll would use the funds to purchase a vacant, 6,500-square-foot building at 657 E. 75th St. from the Cook County Land Bank and rehabilitate the structure for food manufacturing, catering and retail sales. The $1.4 million project would create up to 10 fulltime positions.

Founded in 2015, Twisted Eggroll produces a variety of fresh and frozen eggrolls.

The Neighborhood Opportunity Fund allocates fees paid by downtown construction projects to support commercial corridor investment on the South, Southwest and West sides. Grant amounts exceeding $250,000 require City Council approval.
