The 91-acre 35th/State TIF district was created to provide an orderly transition from obsolete land uses to more appropriate land use patterns in the area, especially involving sites formerly occupied by the Chicago Housing Authority's Stateway Gardens public housing complex. In supporting the mixed-income redevelopment of formerly tax-exempt parcels for rental and for-sale housing, the district is assisting the reestablishment of the Chicago street grid system on land previously characterized by barren public housing plazas. It is also meant to rekindle the streetscape vitality that characterized the area in its 1920s heyday by fostering streetscape improvements and other pedestrian-friendly amenities.
