Demolition continues of Crawford Coal Power Plant in the Little Village neighborhood of Chicago. It was closed in 2012 after a long battle with community activists. It was owned by Midwest Generation, a subsidiary of Edison International. Demolition of the plant began in 2019. On April 11, 2020, a concrete smokestack was imploded and created a large dust cloud that covered the surrounding neighborhood. Mayor Lori Lightfoot issued an immediate stop work order and a lawsuit on behalf of the community is being looked into.

The demolition continued on June 5th, 2020, under protest from the community.
