Rodriguez For more information, contact Alliance for the Great Lakes, [email protected]. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Databook has been compiled to serve as a resource in guiding policy and planning in the Calumet Industrial Corridor. The Databook is the product of more than a year of collaborative research. The findings in the Databook draw on both quantitative and qualitative methods of evaluating the study area and the quality of life for residents. An appendix examines health impacts of climate change in the Calumet Industrial Corridor. About the study area: • The Calumet Industrial Corridor is the largest industrial corridor by land area in Chicago. • 73% of the corridor is part of a Planned Manufacturing District. • The study area for the Databook project consisted of the Calumet Industrial Corridor and the surrounding half-mile. As of 2017: – Hispanic/Latino residents made up 58.96% of the study area population – Black residents made up 25.02% of the study area population Map of study area boundary and underlying streets; includes the official City of Chicago ‘Calumet Industrial Corridor’ and surrounding ½ mile buffer CONTRIBUTORS: Funders Calumet Connect Partnership Advisory Committee • The Chicago Community Trust • Claretian Associates • Great Lakes Integrated Science and Assessment Center (GLISA) • Southeast Environmental Task Force • The JPB Foundation through The Funders Network • Southeast Side Coalition to Ban Pet Coke • Pisces Foundation • Metropolitan Family Services • Work2gether4peace Partners • Southeast Youth Alliance • Alliance for the Great Lakes • Parents of Extraordinary Children • Metropolitan Planning Council • Nine3 Studios • Center for Neighborhood Technology • Centro De Trabajadores Unidos • NeighborSpace • Alliance of the Southeast • Great Lakes Integrated Science and Assessment Center • UI-Chicago, School of Public Health • UI-Chicago, Voorhees Center i KEY FINDINGS 1. Health Outcomes: Residents of the Calumet Industrial Corridor disproportionately experience adverse health outcomes. • The rate of coronary heart disease is higher in the study area compared to the rest of Chicago; this is also true when comparing to the other industrial corridors. • The rate of COPD is higher in the study area compared to the rest of Chicago.

RECOMMENDATIONS Public Health Focus: Future planning in the Corridor should incorporate and prioritize public health considerations. Residents’ Voices: When City agencies make future planning decisions, they should seek out, listen to, and center residents’ voices. Discuss Immediate Changes: In consultation with the community, the City must commit to real changes. These might include: • Stricter regulations, more frequent inspections, more severe penalties, and greater transparency. • The City re-evaluating its economic incentive programs to attract more sustainable businesses to the Corridor. Further Research: More data is needed. And for data that is already publicly available, transparency and restructuring should be prioritized. • The Databook working group seeks the active involvement of the Department of Planning and Development in collecting and sharing data. ii Calumet Connect Databook, Version 2.0 January 2021 Contains: ● Quantitative Phase I: Industrial Occupation and Land Use, Permitting Violations, and Health Outcomes and Services (pages 3-226) ● Qualitative: Community Needs Assessment (pages 227-270) ● Quantitative Phase II: Incentives and Real Estate Activity (pages 271-304) ● Appendix: Health Impacts of Climate Change in the Calumet Industrial Corridor (pages 305-307) Quantitative Analysis Team Margarita Bernal, Research Assistant, Metropolitan Planning Council Sydney Conaway, Research Assistant, Metropolitan Planning Council Alejandro DiPrizio, Research Assistant, Metropolitan Planning Council Chloe Gurin-Sands, Manager of Health Equity & Planning, Metropolitan Planning Council Christina Harris, Director of Land Use and Planning, Metropolitan Planning Council Ashton Hicks, Research Assistant, Metropolitan Planning Council Juan Martin Luna Nunez, Research Assistant, Metropolitan Planning Council Brad Spilka, Research Assistant, Metropolitan Planning Council Steven Vance, Director of Urban Planning and Technology, MAP Strategies (Phase II lead) Shehara Waas, Research Manager, Metropolitan Planning Council Qualitative Analysis Team Jeni Hebert-Beirne, PhD, MPH, University of Illinois at Chicago School of Public Health Alexis Grant, ScM, University of Illinois at Chicago School of Public Health Daisy Magana, University of Illinois at Chicago School of Public Health Eunhye Lee, University of Illinois at Chicago School of Public Health Jasmine Maldanado, University of Illinois at Chicago School of Public Health Jyotsna Jagai, PhD, University of Illinois at Chicago School of Public Health Nicole Machuca, Alliance for the Great Lakes Olga Bautista, Alliance for the Great Lakes Appendix Analysis Team Omar C. Gates, Great Lakes Integrated Sciences and Assessments Marcella Bondie Keenan, AICP, LEED AP, Center for Neighborhood Technology 1 Project Overview Southeast Chicago has a well-documented history of serving as home to businesses and industries that have generated air, soil, and water pollution, strong odors, and other adverse impacts that significantly compromise the quality of life of community residents. Through development of the Commercial Avenue Revitalization Plan (see Table 1, row 1 on page 23 for full source information)--a Great Cities Institute-led effort around the revitalization of South Chicago’s Commercial Avenue--the need for community-informed coordination on environmental justice and public health issues emerged. Recognizing the opportune timing of the Department of Planning and Development (DPD) Industrial Corridor Modernization Process, the Calumet Connect Industrial Corridor Working Group was formed in early 2019. This group quickly coalesced around the need for a data-informed exploration of industrial land use in Southeast Chicago, with the ultimate goal to influence the direction and priorities of DPD’s approach to the future of the Calumet Industrial Corridor. The group determined early on that a mixed-methods approach would be most appropriate, as it was important to all stakeholders to not only understand quantitative data trends, but to also understand lived experiences and resident voice genuinely and robustly. The group designated the Metropolitan Planning Council (MPC) as the quantitative analysis lead for Phase I: exploration of land use and public health within the city of Chicago’s Calumet Industrial Corridor and surrounding ½ mile (see map of study area boundary on page 36). While this work was underway, the qualitative analysis team (see member listing above) gathered data resulting in the production of the Community Needs Assessment, which can be found directly after the Phase I Appendix, on page 227. Due to time and resource constraints, the Metropolitan Planning Council outsourced Phase II of its quantitative analysis, which was focused on an exploration of Southeast Chicago’s real estate/market incentive activity. This section can be found immediately after the Community Needs Assessment, on page 271. Please note that each of these three components--Phase I, Community Needs Assessment, Phase II--have their own distinct Table of Contents, which can be found, respectively, on pages 4, 229, and 271. In conducting these various analyses to set a baseline for understanding the scale and magnitude of industrial land use impacts, the working group and analysis teams intend to help shape 1) the direction of the advocacy and communications strategy the Working Group will develop with regards to future Calumet Industrial Corridor planning, and 2) DPD’s future research, community engagement, and policy/process strategy for the Industrial Corridor Modernization Initiative. 2 Phase I The following Table of Contents outlines the structure of the Phase I analysis, which consists of three sub-sections

  • New Projects & Opportunities
    The Marquette Plan NEW PROJECTS & OPPORTUNITIES New Projects & Opportunities Since the initial Marquette Plan was published in 2005, numerous projects and strategies for promoting redevelopment, conservation, tourism, and livability have risen to the foreground. Some new projects are the result of changing economic conditions and trends well beyond the region. Others reflect new information or adaptations to obstacles and barriers. Incor- porating these opportunities and changes into The Marquette Plan strengthens its vision and purpose, ensures it remains a living document, and enriches the region’s toolbox for promot- ing the shoreline as a place to live, work, and play. Rightsizing & Land Banking The concept of “rightsizing” involves undertaking the long-range planning, land assembly, and demolition needed to adapt a city’s physical landscape to serve a smaller population, when an urban area has experienced significant population loss and disinvestment. In recent years, many of Northwest Indiana’s legacy industrial cities have explored ways in which rightsizing can ad- dress the prevalent issue of vacant buildings and vacant land in their communities. As with many regions throughout the US, the large cluster of vacant buildings in Northwest Indiana result from the decreased investment in real estate in these communities, and the epi- demic of foreclosures that have threatened neighborhoods all over the country. Many of these vacant buildings have been left to deteriorate without any upkeep, and pose as threats to the safety, perception, and property values of the neighborhoods they are in. Vacant lots pose simi- lar threats, and the scattered and fragmented nature by which they have emerged can make large-scale land assembly and land marketing a challenge for a municipality.
