The Near North TIF was designated to support the transformation of the Cabrini-Green public housing complex and adjacent bighted properties into a healthy, mixed-income community that's connected to adjacent Near North Side neighborhoods. At the time of its designation, the 340-acre district was characterized by partially occupied high- and mid-rise housing projects, irregular lot sizes and street patterns, vacant lots, and random institutional and open space uses. Private investment in the area was non-existent due to the abundance of publicly-owned properties. The TIF is designed to provide resources to revitalize the area with new mixed-income townhomes, single-family houses, multi-unit buildings, new commercial facilities and institutional projects. Funds are targeted to support land assembly and demolition efforts, rehabilitation costs, public works improvements, job training initiatives, and relocation assistance.
