Special Service Areas are financed by localized taxes to assist and support commercial corridors defined by the City of Chicago.

So, What is an SSA Anyway?

A Special Service Area (SSA) is a powerful tool designed to make neighborhoods like ours shine brighter.


We’re here to be your contact with the City, your resource center and biggest cheerleader.

Think of it as a partnership between local property owners and the community.

These services go beyond what the city provides, focusing on enhancements like cleaner streets, eye-catching landscaping, dynamic marketing campaigns, and safety initiatives.

 

By pooling resources and working together, an SSA transforms our area into a vibrant, inviting place for businesses, residents, and visitors alike. From boosting property values to attracting foot traffic, an SSA keeps our neighborhood competitive, thriving, and full of opportunity.

Let’s build a better community—together.
