The Near South Community Plan will serve as a guide to future development of the South Loop and Near South communities by recommending future land use, open space and transportation improvements.
The plan provides development goals and projections for a two-square-mile area between Congress Parkway, Lakeshore Drive, the South Branch of the Chicago River and the Stevenson Expressway (I-55), not including Grant Park or the Chintown area southwest of Cermak Road and Clark Street.
Residents, business owners, land owners and interested members of the public are invited to review and comment on the final draft of the plan. Subsequent to public feedback, the Department of Planning and Development will submit it to the Chicago Plan Commission for review and adoption.
Copies of the current draft are available for pick-up at City Hall, 121 N. LaSalle St., Room 1000, Chicago. PDF versions of the plan can be downloaded here.
