Special Service Areas (SSA), known as Business Improvement Districts in other cities, are local tax districts that fund services and programs through a property tax levy within a district. Examples of SSA-funded projects include public way maintenance and beautification; district marketing and advertising; business expansion, special events; security; and storefront improvements. The proposed boundaries for the Englewood SSA district are on 63rd Street from Wallace to Ashland, and on Ashland Ave from 55th Street to 71st Street.
The Greater Englewood Community Development Corporation is distributing this survey with the goal to generate the needs of the Englewood community along the 63rd Street and Ashland corridors. If you work or live in the Greater Englewood community, please complete the community SSA survey here.
