COMMUNITY MEETING 2

WELCOME TO THE MEETING!

PLAN YOUR COMMUNITY!

The Chicago Heights Downtown/East Side Choice Neighborhood Planning Team is asking YOU to help us shape the future of Downtown and the East Side. Use the different colored stickers on your table to decide where you want potential new housing and shopping buildings to go!

We can only build a certain number of new houses and stores, so work with your group to build your community together.

BUILDING TYPES KEY

Townhouses are usually smaller than single family homes and can be built closer together. They take up less space than single-family houses, but more than multi-family buildings, so you can use 10 stickers.

Commercial buildings are used by businesses like convenience stores and local shops. Right now there aren’t enough residents to support new retail like stores and restaurants, so you can only use 1 sticker.

Single-family homes are one of the most common housing types in Chicago Heights! They take up a lot of room so you can use 20 stickers on your map.

Single-Family Homes

Use the colored stickers to decide where new buildings should go. Make sure you don’t use more than the maximum allowed!

Townhomes Multi-Family Buildings Commercial Buildings

Multi-family buildings usually contain apartments or condos and would probably be 3-4 stories tall. They don’t take up very much space so you can only use 5 stickers.
