The Metropolitan
Planning Council’s Community Building Initiative aids communities in addressing
difficult development challenges by providing on-the-ground experience in a
variety of areas—housing, transportation, sensible growth, infill redevelopment,
and zoning. Many communities also face challenges due to market pressures, lack
of fiscal resources, and the need for expertise. Since 2001, MPC has been working to help communities overcome obstacles
by providing technical expertise, market-based strategies for community
redevelopment, and sensibly planned new development.
MPC’s new Community Building
Initiative is actively seeking partnerships for 2006. For more information about
MPC’s Community Building Initiative and how it might help your town or
neighborhood, contact Heather Campbell at 312-863-6006 or hcampbell@metroplanning.org.
