Clark Street SSA #23 Commission Meeting
The Clark Street Special Service Area (SSA) #23 commission is scheduled to meet on Wednesday, October 21 at 5:00 p.m. This meeting will be held at Basil Leaf Cafe, 2465 N. Clark in the party room.
A Special Service Area (SSA) is an economic development tool created by state statute and city ordinance that allows additional real estate property taxes to be levied to fund added services for a defined area. The services funded through the SSA tax are in addition to services generally provided by the City and benefit those properties located within SSA boundaries.
The Clark Street SSA was established in the fall of 2002 and reconstituted in 2008. Nine commissioners, selected from within the SSA boundaries (Clark between Armitage and Diversey and the south side of Diversey between Orchard and Lakeview) manage the Clark Street SSA. Commission members were nominated by the community and then reviewed and approved by the aldermen and mayor.
For more information about the Clark Street SSA or the upcoming meeting, please contact Loren Dinneen at (773) 880-5200.
