Emerald South

Empowering Chicago's Mid-South Side

The Emerald South Economic Development Collaborative was founded on the belief that Chicago’s mid-South Side is ready for transformative growth. With the Obama Presidential Center and other significant developments, there is a unique opportunity to foster community wealth in neighborhoods that have faced decades of disinvestment. By attracting both traditional and innovative capital, Emerald South aims to drive job creation, enhance local spending, and ensure that the benefits of cultural production are retained within the community.

This initiative generates community wealth and amplifies local culture through shared pride, power, and investment.
