For Immediate Release: LPCC Supports Depaul University's Strategic Plan
As DePaul University prepares to unveil their updated Master Plan and Community agreement to the Lincoln Park neighborhood, the Lincoln Park Chamber of Commerce (LPCC) is looking forward to the final outcome of those documents.
“We are excited to see DePaul University’s final Master Plan after their diligent and strategic approach to the site,” said Kim Schilf, President and CEO of the Lincoln Park Chamber of Commerce. “DePaul University has been transparent, open and inclusive throughout this process. The LPCC is honored and appreciative of being able to provide feedback throughout the planning process. The community agreement being developed with the Master Plan represents DePaul’s continued commitment to the neighborhood and the residents and businesses that reside near the university.”
As a business organization, one of our main concerns is how any new development or change in the neighborhood will impact parking. DePaul University’s Master Plan has studied the impact changes to the campus and new buildings will have on parking and has incorporated plans for additional parking options into their plans,” Schilf continued.
“The new music and theatre buildings will provide students access to a world-class education and residents another cultural outlet in their neighborhood,” Schilf concluded.
