NRC Policy Agenda

The challenge of increasing commercial vacancies and urban blight in local communities across Chicago and Cook County has spurred our coalition into action. In the Words from Our Partners Series, our coalition partners provide their insights on our ongoing efforts to revitalize, empower, and foster connectivity within business districts.

Our NRC Gallery is the showcase of the legislative work we are doing throughout Chicagoland. Check out our new video page, where we speak to local advocates within our coalition about why small businesses are so important to the local economy.
