WHAT WE DO
Our mission is to protect and preserve the historical character and charm of our architecturally vibrant community. We also hope to educate our residents about local and city-wide issues, foster strong citizenship, and create a sense of community within our city.
Our Planning and Zoning Committee evaluates all proposed local building projects and renovations to ensure compatibility with our landmark guidelines. We work with our Alderman regarding requests for zoning relief within our Mid-North neighborhood and with the Department of Landmarks regarding changes to designated landmarked properties within our district.
We review issues of concern within the neighborhood, whether they be local developments or city-wide ordinances. Meetings may involve informational presentations or board votes.
We request membership dues to sustain our all-volunteer organization. We fundraise when necessary through neighborhood festivals. We also plan community social events to foster a sense of community and camaraderie.
