The 579-acre Western Avenue/Rock Island TIF district is characterized by predominately commercial land uses with a mix of residential and institutional properties along with various public open spaces. The district is intended to revitalize several underutilized areas within the Beverly and Morgan Park communities by providing a mechanism that fosters private investment. Its main goals are to rehabilitate outdated and obsolete commercial structures for continued commercial uses, to create new retail facilities on underutilized and vacant land, and to promote infill development where appropriate. Transportation and utility enhancements, along with job training and day care programs, are also supported by the TIF.
