'We moved the grass, and we planted thousands of seedlings of native plants. If you look around today, you can see bees, butterflies. It's a black-and-white change from what we had last year.'

One of the biggest employers on Chicago's North Side is getting some buzz for something unexpected.

You can see and enjoy it at the corner of Pratt and Ridge Boulevards. CBS 2's Noel Brennan takes us up to Rogers Park.

"It's just a great, peaceful place to come. It's attractive for the community. It collects rainwater and provides important pollination for birds, bugs, and other critters," Kane said."So we manufacture switch gear and protection for the utility power grid. The products we make are critical parts of the grid.""We first had this idea back in 2019.
