Opportunity for Developers, Community Groups to Showcase Community Projects
The Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) is now
accepting applications for the Ninth Annual Chicago Neighborhood
Development Awards. The Awards
recognize outstanding achievement in neighborhood real estate development and
community building. Community development corporations (CDCs), other
community-based organizations and for-profit developers will be recognized for
working together to build healthier neighborhoods in the Chicago metropolitan
area. Applicants may choose to
apply in four separate award categories depending upon their affiliation. A panel of representatives will
initially screen applications and judges from the for-profit and non-profit
sectors will make site visits throughout October. The Awards Committee will then select
one winner for each of the four awards.
Winners will be notified in December, and an awards ceremony will be held at
the Hyatt Regency Chicago on February 7, 2003. Application deadline: Friday, Sept. 27, 2002, 5:00 p.m.
