McKinley Park Development Council

We work to organize, inform, and support neighbors in building the community we want to live in — physically, culturally, and economically.

We love being a diverse and welcoming community made stronger by immigrant families. We denounce the hateful rhetoric and violence that were a part of the protest against the a proposed tent camp at 38th & California today. We are better that.

Our calls for community input regarding the sale of #DamenSilos is picking up good press.

We believe the community deserves to shape the spaces around us that we can all enjoy while keeping our riverfront clean and accessible.
Most development in our area tends to be car centric and inaccessible to residents.

So what would you like to see at this site?

🚨Four people have applied to replace @aldcardenas as 12th Ward alderman when he leaves later this month to take a seat on the Cook County Board of Review. One applicant, Anabel Abarca, is Cardenas' former chief of staff and has already launched her 2023 campaign for alderman.

Chicago created its first city wide plan in 60 years. The goal is to encourage equitable neighborhood growth. Almost 9,000 comments so far and the aim is to get 10,000 before November 1. Don't forget to get your comments in.
