We’ve seen 10 new Chicago, IL 60660 businesses open, with several working hard to open in early 2017. The neighborhood has distinguished itself as a sought- after site for new development, while retaining the local independent businesses that have lent Edgewater its character for years. In this report, you’ll see highlights from the programs that SSA 26 has funded to make Edgewater the vibrant, attractive business district that it is, from re-painting the light poles to installing public art and collaborating on a pop-up shop. We look forward to the momentum 2016’s successes will bring to our projects in the new year!
