The Department of Planning and Development (DPD) and Ald. Walter Burnett (27th) will co-host this community webinar about an update to the Fulton Market Innovation District Plan. That plan was adopted by the Chicago Plan Commission in 2014 to guide land uses and future implementation of public and private projects within the Fulton Market area. In the years since, there have been several significant planning initiatives and changes that have impacted this area which spans from Randolph Street to Hubbard Street and from Halsted Street to Ogden Avenue.

DPD central region planners have drafted a plan update meant to summarize those initiatives and trends, and to provide updated goals and strategies to guide future growth. The update recommends allowing future developments to propose a mix of uses, including residential, north of Lake Street.
