Belmont Cragin Avenues for Growth Plan
About the Project
The Northwest Side Housing Center (NWSHC) and its subsidiary Northwest Side Community Development Corporation (NWCDC), local nonprofit organizations in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood of Chicago, desire to undertake an Avenues for Growth Plan that will promote the Belmont Cragin business community by leveraging its transportation system. The neighborhood’s recently completed 2016 Quality-of-Life Plan recommends pursuing opportunities to improve their commercial corridors in a manner that complements local business growth and job creation. Commercial corridors to be included in the study include Diversey Avenue, Fullerton Avenue, and Grand Avenue. For demographic information on the neighborhood, view the Community Data Snapshot.
Public Engagement
The outreach process will engage community leaders, businesses, residents, and property owners. Working in coordination with the NWSHC and the community at large, the final product will be an action plan for NWSHC, local officials, local businesses, and partner organizations.
