SOUTHLAND DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY NFP
The goal of the Southland Development Authority (SDA) is to reestablish Chicago’s South Suburbs (“the Southland”) to their historic place as a major hub of economic activity for the Chicagoland region, revitalizing the region as a unique set of communities that celebrates and engages its rich history and diversity. The overarching philosophy embedded in the SDA from the outset is inclusive economic growth: traditionally disconnected populations will participate in and lead the decision-making, strategy development, and implementation of wealth creation activities. The individuals and businesses of the Southland have been and will be front and center in the SDA’s activities to drive wealth and job creation in the region.

RESIDENT ASSOCIATION OF GREATER ENGLEWOOD
Shortly after the civil unrest and destruction here in Englewood, our leadership created the R.A.G.E. Economic Upliftment Program (Re-Up) with a primary focus on four pillars of development, designed to build the Englewood community’s social and economic strength. The Re-Up will establish a new business corridor in Englewood that increase employment, household income and resident wealth; civic infrastructure; and improve stability for the residents of Greater Englewood. We have identified an anchor project with the property at 1158 West 59th Street which is the ideal location for this pilot model and will serve as a catalyst for future investments and corridor revitalization efforts. Our goal is to create 10-20 new permanent jobs at this site and 10-15 temporary construction jobs. There are a multitude of uses proposed for the facility located at 1158 West 59th Street. Currently a dine in restaurant, catering space and offices are the primary functions at the top of our list for uses. As our association continues to grow, we will relocate our offices on the 2nd Floor of this building and work to recruit 1-2 black owned businesses to expand their business at this location. The layout for the first floor will accommodate a sit-down restaurant with a small event space and a shared catering space. The businesses our association is currently pursuing to relocate as an anchor in at this site includes but is not limited to, black owned businesses such as Batter & Berries, Two Fish Crab Shack, Chicago’s Home of Chicken & Waffles, Phlavz Bar & Grille, Sip and Savor and/or Afro Coffee.

THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS
UIC Great Cities Institute (GCI) is partnered with the National Park Service (NPS), Calumet Collaborative, NeighborSpace, and Active Transportation Alliance (ATA) to continue its project to create community access on the Calumet River between the Chicago Skyway and 100th Street. The Southeast Side communities identified this site because it presents a strong opportunity to provide public access to the river. To date the project team has initiated conversations with the owners of the site and the City of Chicago, conducted ongoing community outreach as well as started to develop community stewardship for future site management. In addition, the team has undertaken an initial environmental analysis of the site and its immediate surroundings.
