Town Halls to Support Local and Small Businesses

town hall blog header

We're excited to announce a series of free community town halls focusing on policies that help revitalize neighborhood business districts and support small businesses. These town halls are designed to be informative, and interactive, and to bring communities together. Members and business owners are encouraged to further learn how the SBAC and a coalition of engaged stakeholders have been working to revitalize neighborhoods throughout Chicagoland.

Because we know our community is located throughout the state of Illinois, we have chosen a few locations throughout the city to make access more convenient for you.
