Devon Avenue is among the nation’s most diverse business and residential corridors. Not only is it a cultural treasure, but it is also one of the City’s major economic engines. Portions of this critical commercial district have not been improved in decades.
This upgrade to one of the most diverse streets in the City of Chicago will help businesses that are presently on Devon, and attract new stores to open.
