Public safety fears and concerns over rising taxes top the agenda for business leaders across the city from downtown to the neighborhoods.
“We need to address safety on the CTA and get people back to the office,” said Lavin. “We need to do community policing. These are things that we need to do right away. I don’t think it requires new taxes. We’ve had skyrocketing property taxes. It has impacted small businesses, and it has impacted middle-class families.”
The organization is also trying to tackle the issue of vacant commercial properties that can become a blight on communities and discourage new investment. Felicia Slaton-Young, executive director of the Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce, also places public safety at the top of her concerns. But she also wants to see the next mayor prioritize the concerns of small business owners in historically marginalized communities that have been starved of investment.
Aside from being concerned about vacant properties that blight the neighborhood, Slaton-Young said that starting new businesses in Englewood can be challenging because of a lack of commercial properties.
