Oak Brook, Ill. – Inland National Development Company, LLC (“INDC”) is pleased to announce that Howard Brown Health, Chicago’s premier lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (“LGBTQ”) healthcare organization, selected INDC to develop their newest healthcare center in Chicago’s Northalsted neighborhood (formerly known as Boystown).
