​LAKE STREET COUNCIL

A few highlights from 2021

Posted

A few highlights from Lake Street Council:
• Awarding $300,000 in grants to local artists and community groups to produce murals and host events. This newly launched creative placemaking program has brought the community together and focused efforts on crime hotspots to reduce violent crime and improve community safety.
• Giving out over $1.5 million in predevelopment and business support funds in 2021, helping ensure that new construction projects include affordable spaces for new entrepreneurs to start businesses and thrive. As buildings are rehabbed and rebuilt, we’re ensuring that they stay locally owned and benefit our community.
• Launching the Be Well Lake Street program to provide small business owners with access to mental health services to support them as they navigate the challenges of 2020 and 2021. These services are provided by a number of culturally-competent providers along Lake Street, and are free to access for Lake Street businesses.
