Hegewisch Neighborhood Plan

The Hegewisch Business Association has been working with the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) over the past two years to develop a neighborhood plan for Hegewisch that will help guide choices and decisions that are made in the future.

Read the final plan! The recommendations focus on how to make Hegewisch's central business area--centered on Baltimore and Brandon Avenues--a vibrant place, the center of life in the neighborhood. But the recommendations also address many other challenges and opportunities that were identified as priorities by the community over the past two years. The recommendations are organized under the following five goals:

• Bring the community together
• Make Hegewisch’s youth a priority
• Make Baltimore Avenue and Brandon Avenue a place where people and businesses want to be
• Make Hegewisch a recreation destination and an even more attractive place to live
• Make Hegewisch’s roads safer for all and limit truck traffic in residential areas
