Kinzie Framework Plan and Implementation
|
UPDATED Sept. 17, 2020
The Kinzie Industrial Corridor Framework Plan was approved by the Chicago Plan Commission in May 2019. The plan was a result of a community-based process led by the Department of Planning and Development to review and enhance the Kinzie Industrial Corridor. As part of the Industrial Corridor Modernization Initiative, the process intend to maintain the corridor as an economic engine and vital job center, provide better access for all transportation modes, and enhance the area’s unique built environment. The framework identifies corridor employment trends and land use changes over time, as well as the historic character and development of the area, and makes recommendations to encourage industrial and some commercial development for continued employment growth within the corridor. The public process included more than 200 participants across two community meetings. Please email dpd@cityofchicago.org if you have questions or if you wish to be kept apprised of the City's progress with implementing the plan.
