Economic Development

The mission of the Economic Development Division is to redevelop distressed property, revitalize neighborhoods, provide job opportunities, generate sustainable tax revenue, and bring amenities to neighborhoods in the City through local investment.

This area of planning is led by an Economic Development Committee which oversees economic development. This community development activity seeks to attract new real estate development, companies, and businesses to Evanston downtown, industrial, and business district areas, while supporting and retaining long-standing owners.

Meetings of the Economic Development Committee are held at the Evanston Civic Center on the fourth Wednesday of every month. Previous meeting agendas and minutes can be found here.
