Avenues for Growth plan
Diversey, Fullerton, and Grand Avenues are Belmont Cragin’s key corridors to eat, shop, start a business, live, ride a bike, and take the bus. Through our Avenues for Growth Plan, we are working with residents to focus on these three commercial corridors as sites for investment and improvement.
The Avenues for Growth Corridors Plan identifies strategies for creating jobs, supporting small and locally-owned businesses, improving housing options, and improving transportation and public places along Belmont Cragin’s three main corridors: Diversey, Fullerton, and Grand Avenues.
WHO MAKES THIS PLAN POSSIBLE?
First and foremost, this plan was guided by input from over 800 residents, who are rooted here and deserve the first say in shaping decisions that impact their community. The plan is steered by JGMA Architects, Teska Associates, the Northwest Side Housing Center, and its subsidiary Northwest Side Community Development Corporation. The Plan is funded by the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning’s Local Technical Assistance (LTA) program, which has undertaken more than 200 projects since 2012 to help communities plan for increased livability, sustainability and economic vitality.
