A cornerstone of Woodlawn's revitalization efforts is the new Woodlawn Tax Increment Financing District, designated last month, which will help private investors improve the quality of life for local residents. 67th Street and Stony Island Avenue. The Chicago Park District and the Chicago Public Schools will also undertake capital improvement projects. Redevelopment of 63rd Street became possible about a year ago when the City dismantled antiquated elevated tracks that ran above it. With the tracks gone, the street's rebirth as a residential district began.
Today is the beginning of the next step.
