Details on ways Chicago can improve and streamline administrative processes to build more housing and support commercial developments were part of the “Cut the Tape” report recently released by Mayor Brandon Johnson.
The report identifies more than 100 recommendations for development process improvement, including enhancements in internal and external communication, accountability, resource optimization, and the elimination of redundant processes.
“Our mission is to foster growth and elevate Chicago’s economic landscape, as outlined in the Cut the Tape report, which aims for a more effective and streamlined development process,” Johnson said. “This strategy will quickly increase residential and commercial projects, stimulating business sectors and addressing the urgent need for housing.”
The initiative’s goal is to decrease redundant and inefficient steps in the development process, reduce the overall review time, and improve communication with development partners.
