Website Update:
Please note that the Economic Development website is undergoing a reconstruction. We hope to bring you more information that will help your business in the City of Evanston. If you need any information during this time please e-mail Morris Robinson at mrobinson@cityofevanston.org
The mission of the Economic Development activitity of the Planning Division is to redevelop distressed property, revitalize neighborhoods, provide job opportunities, generate sustainable tax revenue, and bring amenities to neighborhoods in the City through local investment. This area of planning is led by an Economic Development Committee which oversees economic development. This community development activity seeks to attract new real estate development, companies, and businesses to Evanston downtown, industrial, and business district areas, while supporting and retaining long-standing owners.
Meetings of the Economic Development Committee are held at the Evanston Civic Center on the fourth Wednesday of every month. Previous meeting agendas and minutes can be found here.
