The Local Development Corporation was established in December 1994 in response to concerns expressed to local elected officials by business owners, residents and community leaders. Activists worried about the lack of investment and general deterioration of the Mt. Greenwood Business District. Early efforts at the LRC included a survey of business owners and production of materials to market the area. Through the efforts of 19th Ward Alderman Virginia A. Rugai, city funding was obtained to hire a professional team of planners. A Business District Improvement Plan for 111th Street and Kedzie Ave. was developed in 1997 with urban specialists Camiros. Ltd. Areas are suggested for - "new development emphasis"-, rehabilitation, improved parking and other amenities.
