Among the major activities undertaken by the TIFA since its establishment have been the following: ¾ Development of “A Plan for Commercial Revitalization – the Beech Daly Road Central Business District” in 1985, which provided the guidelines for public and private sector improvements along the South Beech Daly corridor, between Van Born and Michigan Avenue. ¾ Improvements to South Beech Daly including street widening, sidewalks, sewer and water construction.
