1 bienvenido Conozca Rogers Park La ubicación, las oportunidades y la diversidad de la economía estaban esperando el momento oportuno en Rogers Park, y ese momento ha llegado. Esta comunidad situada en la zona norte de Chicago hace gala de su diversidad cultural y económica, y está en la cúspide de resurgimiento: gestación de nuevos negocios para satisfacer a una creciente comunidad, un aumento del 33% en el precio de venta promedio de casas para un solo núcleo familiar en Rogers Park, más de $60 millones en mejoras al transporte e infraestructura vial en curso, tasas de alquiler comercial inferiores al promedio en los vecindarios circundantes, y una gran actividad en las calles gracias al comercio y a la clientela que se sustentan entre sí. Dos distritos financieros de incremento fiscal ofrecen incentivos económicos para mejorar los inmuebles locales y realizar mejoras públicas. Sume a ello las oportunidades y el apoyo económico, el acceso al lago Michigan desde todas las calles este-oeste, una oferta internacional de restaurantes y tiendas y un transporte público seguro y económico, y podrá ver por qué Rogers Park es una experiencia que no puede dejar pasar. I R E H C R A Y A D E U Q C A J : E C R U O S

2 welcome

Experience Rogers Park Location, opportunity and a diverse economy were waiting for the right moment in Rogers Park, and that moment has arrived. This economically and culturally diverse community, on the north side of Chicago, is on the cusp of resurgence: new businesses sprouting up to serve a growing commu- nity, a 33 percent increase in the average sale price of single-family homes in Rogers Park between 2003 and 2004, more than $60 million in trans- portation and streetscaping improvements in the works, less than average commercial rental rates for nearby neighborhoods and the bustle on the streets as businesses and patrons support one another. Two tax increment financing districts provide financial incentives to improve local properties and support public improvements. Add up the opportunities and the economic support, mix in Lake Michigan access from all east-west streets, an international blend of eateries and retail shops, and safe and economical public transportation, and it’s easy to see why Rogers Park is an experience not to be missed.

3 calidad de vida ,, ,, La vida en las afueras La vida en las afueras no es algo malo. Rogers Park, situado en el borde norte de Chicago y a la orilla del lago Michigan, es un enclave de diversidad y oportunidades. Los residentes disfrutan de un vecindario muy unido que se encuentra sólo a 20 minutos del centro de Chicago. El costo de la vida es razonable, uno de los motivos por el cual la vibrante comunidad ha acogido a personas de todos los lugares del mundo. Durante los últimos 75 años, la población de la comunidad nacida en el extranjero se ha mantenido en un 20 y 30%. El censo del año 2000 desglosó étnicamente a los 62.000 residentes, y determinó que de ellos el 32% era de raza blanca, el 30% de raza afro-americana, el 28% de latinos y el 6% de asiáticos. Los residentes viven en una gran variedad de inmuebles, desde grandes casas familiares a edificios de apartamentos y condominios cuidadosamente restaurados. Los apacibles vecindarios de Rogers Park son excelentes para empleados y estudiantes de la Universidad de Loyola, situada en la zona sudeste de Rogers Park, y de la Universidad Northwestern en Evanston, justo al norte de Rogers Park. Los residentes y empresarios tienen un fácil acceso a destinos en toda la zona de Chicago y sus alrededores, gracias a cuatro estaciones de trenes, una estación ferroviaria METRA, una decena de rutas de autobuses y la moderna terminal de transporte regional CTA en Howard Street, la cual actualmente se está renovando. Los vecindarios residenciales de Rogers Park se complementan con una creciente comunidad comercial diversa reconocida local y nacionalmente, y una gran variedad R E H

4 quality of life

Living on the edge Life on the edge isn’t a bad thing. Rogers Park, on the northern edge of Chicago and on the edge of Lake Michigan, is an enclave of diversity and opportunity. Residents enjoy a close-knit neighborhood only 20 minutes from downtown Chicago. The cost of living is reasonable, one reason why the lively community has been welcoming people from every corner of the globe. Over the past 75 years, the community’s foreign-born population has remained between 20 and 30 percent, with the 2000 census reporting an ethnic breakdown of its 62,000 residents as about 32 percent white, 30 per- cent African-American, 28 percent Latino and 6 percent Asian. Residents live in a wide assortment of housing, from large family homes to carefully-restored apartment buildings and condominiums. Rogers Park’s quiet neighborhoods are especially convenient for employees and students of Loyola University, tucked into Rogers Park's southeast corner, and Northwestern University in Evanston, Rogers Park’s northern neighbor. Residents and business owners have easy access to points throughout the entire Chicago area and beyond, thanks to four elevated train stations, a METRA commuter rail station, a dozen bus routes and the Howard Street CTA Regional Transportation Terminal, which is currently being renovated. Rogers Park’s residential neighborhoods are complemented by a growing busi- ness community of locally-and-nationally-known retailers and a diversity of pro- fessional service providers, restaurants and shops, such as Beck’s Book Store, The Heartland Café, Quizno’s, Evil Squirrel Comics and The UPS Store.

La demanda de consumo es alta, fue estimada en un gasto de $1.2 mil millones en bienes de consumo dentro de un radio de una milla de Clark y Morse en 2005, más del doble por milla cuadrada en comparación con el promedio de Chicago para determinados productos. Los espacios recreativos incluyen 10 parques municipales, 13 playas públicas al final de las calles que llegan al lago Michigan y muchas millas de aceras y ciclo vías. Como antigua cuna de artistas de Chicago, el arte, la música y el teatro en Rogers Park continúan cultivándose y atrayendo a nuevos públicos y artistas. Por lo visto, un lugar a las afueras puede ser sumamente productivo y agradable, tal cual lo evidencia Rogers Park. I

UN SÓLIDO INICIO

Desde el asentamiento de losHistoria Potawatomi y otras tribus nativas americanas, el hermoso entorno y recursos naturales de Rogers Park han atraído a residentes del mundo entero. Philip M. Rogers, en homenaje a quien la comunidad lleva ese nombre, compró 1.600 acres al gobierno estadounidense y se estableció en el lugar en 1834. La zona mantuvo su carácter principalmente rural hasta el incendio de Chicago en 1871. El siniestro redujo la cantidad de viviendas del centro, precipitando una migración desde el centro de la ciudad a las zonas periféricas. Rogers Park se incorporó como comunidad de Illinois en 1878. La extensión de la línea de ferrocarril significó un gran aporte al crecimiento de la zona. La construcción de cómodas casas de gran tamaño contribuyó mucho a darle al pueblo su reputación de ser un excelente lugar residencial. Las líneas de ferrocarril adicionales y el aumento de la adquisición de terrenos en la década de 1880 atrajeron aún a más personas R

a la zona. Las calles bien planificadas del pueblo, las amplias aceras y avenidas llenas de E H C R

árboles continúan dándole a Rogers Park su sello residencial característico. A Y A

En 1893, Rogers Park comenzó oficialmente a formar parte de la ciudad de Chicago, y D E U

con dicha incorporación llegaron los servicios públicos, escuelas, policía y bomberos. Q C A J

Posteriormente, los trenes elevados y las líneas de tranvías dieron pie a otro gran impulso : E C R

- esta vez se trataba de la construcción de restaurantes, apartamentos y teatros durante U O las décadas de 1920 y 1930. S Actualmente, Rogers Park es un lugar donde conviven personas de todos los rincones del mundo y de los estilos de vida más diversos. Y continúa siendo, como ha ocurrido por generaciones, una comunidad acogedora y diversa que brinda un fácil acceso a las oportunidades y a la emoción del agitado centro de Chicago.

6 demand is high; an estimated $1.2 billion was spent on consumer goods within a one-mile radius of Clark and Morse in 2005, more than twice as much per square mile compared to the Chicago average for certain goods. Recreational venues include 10 municipal parks, 13 public street-end Lake Michigan beaches and miles and miles of bike paths. Long a haven for Windy City artists, Rogers Park's art, music and theater scenes continue to grow and attract new artists and audiences. Clearly, living on the edge can be the most vibrant and enjoyable place, as evidenced in Rogers Park. I

A SOLID BEGINNING Since its settlement by theHistory Potawatomi and other Native American tribes, Rogers Park’s beautiful setting and natural resources have attracted residents from around the world. The community’s namesake, Philip M. Rogers, purchased 1,600 acres from the U.S. government and settled here in 1834. The area remained mostly rural until the Chicago Fire of 1871. The blaze created a housing shortage downtown, precipitating a migration from the city’s center into outlying areas. Rogers Park was incorporated as an Illinois village in 1878. The extension of a rail line contributed to the area's growth. The construction of large, gracious homes gave rise to the village’s reputation as a great place to live. Additional rail lines and a land boom in the 1880s enticed even more people to the area. The village’s well-planned roads, wide sidewalks and tree-lined boule- vards continue to give Rogers Park its unique residential character. In 1893, Rogers Park officially became a part of the City of Chicago, and with annexation came public utilities, schools, police and fire protection. Later, ele- vated trains and streetcar lines led to another boom—this time in the construc- tion of restaurants, apartments and theaters during the 1920s and 1930s. Today, Rogers Park is home to people from all corners of the world and all walks of life. It continues, as it has for generations, to be a welcoming, diverse community with easy access to the opportunities and excitement of bustling downtown Chicago. I

7 negocios Vea como, crecemos La abuela de Dan Sullivan era la administradora del inmueble que hoy en día pertenece a su nieto. Hace treinta años, se dio cuenta que el lugar que ella amaba comenzó a perder su acogedor sentido de comunidad tras los devastadores incendios y las cíclicas recesiones económicas. “Nuestro vecindario llegó a su fin”, comentó a su nieto. Si estuviera viva actualmente, habría dicho, “nuestro vecindario está renaciendo” debido a que la esquina de Jarvis con Greenview, parte de Jarvis Square, es ahora un centro de oportunidades económicas. Los inmuebles prácticamente están repletos de nuevos negocios dedicados a servir a un vecindario diverso y orientado a la familia. “Si antes de este desarrollo me hubiesen preguntado quién vivía en Rogers Park, habría contestado que una comunidad conformada más bien por adultos”, señaló Sullivan, de LAMS Real Estate Management. “Vimos cómo muchas familias jóvenes con hijos llegaron con la apertura de los negocios”. Sullivan nos ofrece su clara perspectiva para adquirir los inmuebles adecuados, administrarlos debidamente y crear una combinación comercial ideal en Rogers Park. En Jarvis Square, una amplia gama de negocios conforman esta combinación, incluyendo Poitin Stil, una taberna irlandesa; The Dagel y Beli Shop, una tienda de delicatessen/emparedados; el “side project”, una compañía teatral con sede en Chicago, Under the Table Books, una tienda de libros usados; y Lumbar Lounge, un centro de masajes y demás actividades de bienestar, sólo por mencionar algunos.

Watch us grow Dan Sullivan’s grandmother used to manage the building her grandson currently owns. Thirty years ago, she saw the square she loved begin to lose its neighborly sense of community after devastating fires and cyclical eco- nomic downturns. “There goes the neighborhood,” she told her grandson. If she were alive today, she might say, “here comes the neighborhood,” because the corner of Jarvis and Greenview, part of Jarvis Square, is now a center of economic opportunity. The properties are nearly filled with new businesses that are catering to a diverse and family-oriented neighborhood. “If you had asked me before this development who lived in Rogers Park, I’d say we were a more adult-oriented community,” said Sullivan, of LAMS Real Estate Management. “We saw a lot of young families with children come with the opening of businesses.” Sullivan brings his clear vision for Rogers Park to bear on acquiring the right buildings, managing them well and creating a good business mix. In Jarvis Square, a wide range of businesses are filling out this mix including Poitin Stil, an Irish pub; The Dagel and Beli Shop, a deli/sandwich shop; the side project, a Chicago-based theater company; Rogers Bark, a pet salon; and Lumbar Lounge, a massage studio and spa, just to name a few.

9 Susie Ryerson inauguró Rogers Bark, una tienda y salón de belleza para mascotas, en Jarvis Square y quedó muy contenta con la bienvenida de la comunidad. “Venían personas a la tienda antes de que la abriera para darme la bienvenida”, ella comento. “Es muy sintomático que a las personas de esta comunidad les encante apoyar los nuevos negocios”. Desde su ubicación en , la Sociedad Histórica de Rogers Park/West Ridge marca el progreso del vecindario. La historia deportiva de Rogers Park, incluyendo sus más destacados atletas tales como Fritz Pollard, el primer entrenador afro-americano de la NFL (Liga Nacional de Fútbol Americano), forman parte de los variados exponentes de su museo. Durante el otoño, la sociedad realiza recorridos locales de residencias históricas a través de Rogers Park y West Ridge. No son sólo las organizaciones las que preservan el pasado de Rogers Park e impulsan su desarrollo hacia el futuro. Los residentes antiguos están orgullosos de ver resurgir a su vecindario y ver que se siente mucho más como el lugar donde ellos se criaron. “Las personas que no se marcharon simplemente adoran el vecindario”, señaló Sullivan. “Ahora las nuevas familias se sienten atraídas por las mismas cosas que siempre han hecho cautivante a Rogers Park: cercanía al lago, excelentes viviendas, calles llenas de árboles, el tren elevado y un sentido de comunidad”. “Juntos hemos forjado un cimiento para este resurgimiento”, sostuvo Sullivan. “Ahora parece estar funcionado todo a la perfección”.

Rogers Park’s sports histo- ry, including its most-noted athletes, such as the first African-American NFL coach Fritz Pollard, are part of the museum’s changing exhibits. In the fall, the society hosts home tours of historic residences throughout Rogers Park and West Ridge. It’s not just organizations that are preserving Rogers Park’s past and recording its move toward the future. Lifelong residents are proud to see their neighbor- hood resurging and seeming more like the place in which they grew up. “The people who have stayed just love the place,” Sullivan said. “Now new families are attracted to the same things that have always made Rogers Park appealing: right near the lake, great housing, tree-lined streets, the El and a feeling of community.” “We’ve woven together a foundation for this resurgence,” Sullivan said. “It seems to be hitting on all cylinders now.” I

13 Desarrollo comunitario Rogers Park es una comunidad única en todo sentido, y DevCorp North saca provecho de su diversidad, belleza histórica, acceso al lago y revitalización. DevCorp North se ha asociado con otras organizaciones ciudadanas, como el consejo comunitario “Rogers Park Community Council”, el grupo inmobiliario “Rogers Park Builders Group” y la Sociedad Histórica de West Ridge/Rogers Park para mejorar la calidad de vida. Ejemplo de ello es el servicio integral “One Stop Shop” de Rogers Park que colabora con la Cámara de Comercio Latinoamericana (Latin American Chamber of Commerce, LACC), un organismo que opera en toda la ciudad y que se especializa en brindar servicios a empresarios. LACC ayuda a los comerciantes en la planificación, solicitud de préstamos, comercialización, negociación de contratos de alquiler, adquisición de propiedades y en la certificación de empresas pertenecientes a minorías étnicas y a mujeres. LACC ayuda a individuos y a grupos una vez al mes, tanto en la oficina de DevCorp North como en terreno. LACC/DevCorp North. El servicio integral “One Stop Shop” brinda asistencia técnica a pequeños comerciantes y empresarios en Rogers Park y West Ridge. Además, el laboratorio informático y centro tecnológico en Rogers Park brinda a empresarios y empleados capacitación en informática/uso de Internet y planificación comercial.

Más de 94 personas se beneficiaron de estos servicios el año pasado. DevCorp North permite a las empresas, residentes y visitantes experimentar el crecimiento y valor de la comunidad más diversa de Chicago—Rogers Park.

Desarrollo económico Como una entidad clave en las decisiones que afectan el desarrollo económico de Rogers Park, DevCorp North forma parte de programas específicos de desarrollo que tienen una clara influencia en la dinámica económica de la comunidad. Ejemplo de ello es la iniciativa del proyecto “Full Circle” (Círculo completo). Con el apoyo de un subsidio de la Comisión de planificación del noreste de Illinois (Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission, NIPC), el proyecto incluye la delineación estratégica de la comunidad con base a sus recursos, comenzando con la planificación y desarrollo de una amplia arteria comercial para Morse Avenue y Howard Street. Con la ayuda de los residentes y empresas, el proyecto está formulando estrategias para atraer y conservar negocios, mejorar el flujo de tránsito y estacionamiento, y establecer pautas de diseño para promover la urbanización. Las nuevas urbanizaciones ya están inyectando una dosis de vitalidad a la economía de Rogers Park. El centro comercial “Gateway Shopping Centre” ocupa 13 acres en la esquina de Howard con Clark Streets. Jarvis Square está bajo remodelación para sustentar nuevos negocios, y un programa de reembolsos subvencionados para la remodelación de fachadas ayuda a que los negocios existentes hermoseen sus exteriores. DevCorp North lidera una amplia coalición comunitaria para el nuevo distrito de Financiamiento tributario incremental (Tax Increment Financing, TIF) en Sheridan- Devon y administra las Áreas de servicios especiales (Special Services Areas, SSA) de las calles Howard Street y Clark-Morse-Glenwood, que ofrecen 11 millas de avenidas comerciales con servicios que van desde mercadeo y promoción, a la limpieza de aceras y retiro de nieve. I

14 One example is the Rogers Park “One Stop Shop” partnership with the Latin American Chamber of Commerce (LACC), a citywide chamber specializing in services to business owners. LACC helps businesses with planning, loan packag- ing, marketing, lease negotiation, property purchases and minority-and-women- owned business certification. LACC assists individuals and groups once a month at the DevCorp North office, as well as on site. The LACC/DevCorp North “One Stop Shop” provides technical assistance to small businesses and entrepreneurs in Rogers Park and West Ridge. Another example is the “Celebrate Festival” and “Latin Caribbean Festival” held in 2006. Both festivals were organized by DevCorp North with the assistance of the community. The Rogers Park Computer Lab and Technology Center also provides business owners and employees with training in computer and Internet skills and business planning. Classes are held at the DevCorp North office at convenient times, and are taught by a bilingual instructor in Spanish and English. Nearly 100 people benefited from these services in the past year. DevCorp North is helping businesses, residents and visitors experience the growth and value of Chicago’s most diverse community—Rogers Park.

Economic Development As a key player in the decisions affecting Rogers Park’s economic development, DevCorp North is a part of specific development programs delivering measurable impact on the community’s economic vibrancy. One example is its spearheading of the Full Circle Project. Supported with a grant from the Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission, the project started with asset-based community mapping to plan and develop a comprehensive commercial corridor for Morse Avenue and Howard Street. With input from residents and businesses, the project developed strategies to attract and retain businesses, improve traffic flow and parking, and establish design guidelines for development. New developments are already injecting vitality into Rogers Park’s economy. The old Cobblers Mall at 1328 W. Morse is being renovated into a restau- rant and Jazz club, Jarvis Square is being redeveloped to support new busi- nesses and a Business Improvement Program is helping existing businesses spruce up their exteriors. DevCorp North continues to work on development within the Sheridan- Devon Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District and administers the Howard Street and Clark-Morse-Glenwood Special Services Areas (SSA), providing 11 miles of commercial streets with services ranging from marketing and promo- tion to sidewalk sweeping and snow removal.
