The Chamber & SSA No.50
The best resources of the city and the friendliness of our communities combined together.
Always available to turn your ideas into your dream business.
Together, We Encourage Stability and Growth!
The Southeast Chicago Chamber of Commerce and Special Service Area #50, a not-for-profit organization serving the Calumet Heights-Avalon Park areas, support investment and development within the community. Both the Chamber and SSA #50 encourage stability and growth within the business district and community by promoting business improvement programs, economic development initiatives, safety programs and a clean environment.
In working together,
- We increase awareness amongst business owners by distributing information and holding workshops.
- We alert business owners of grant information provided through the government and assist with the application process.
- We continue to improve community safety by adding roving security patrol who deter unwanted behavior.
- We remove of over 3000 bags of trash from the business district to support a clean and healthy environment for residents to stop and shop.
By creating and implementing programs that promote long-term economic viability, we help to enhance the delivery of services to our residents and attract more traffic to the business district. We value our owners and welcome new ones.
Enjoy the best retail and dining on the South Side.
