McKinley Park Neighborhood Plan
The cover of the McKinley Park Neighborhood Plan shows the neighborhood's distinctive clocktower landmark and lagoon.The McKinley Park Neighborhood Plan is a Local Technical Assistance project of the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) won in 2017 by the McKinley Park Development Council and released in February 2021.
The neighborhood plan, the result of years of outreach, communications, coordination and planning, resulted in a downloadable PDF document comprising the neighborhood plan and its many pages of neighborhood plan information, goals and next steps. This follows an earlier Executive Summary and Existing Conditions Report for the project.
