Community Development Commission

Agendas

The Community Development Commission was established by the Chicago City Council in 1992 to assume the duties of the former Commercial District Development Commission and the Department of Urban Renewal. The CDC reviews and recommends action to the City Council on the establishment of new Tax Increment Financing districts, Redevelopment Area designations, and appointment of members to Community Conservation Councils. The CDC also reviews and recommends action on the sale of city-owned property located in TIF districts or redevelopment areas, and the provision of TIF financing to assist private redevelopment projects. The CDC is composed of 15 members appointed by the mayor and confirmed by the council. Members continue to serve on the commission until their successors are appointed and qualified.
