Despite being a “built-out” community surrounded by the City of Chicago and the Village of Harwood Heights, Norridge has a number of opportunities for potential infill redevelopment and other improvements. Potential infill development and redevelopment in the Village will continue to shape the community’s physical, economic, and social character. As a result, Norridge will be faced with numerous near- and long- term decisions. Having an up-to-date comprehensive plan in place will provide a context in which decisions affecting the future of Norridge can be made with some certainty that today’s choices — whether large or small — contribute to achieving the long-term goals and vision of the community.
