Skokie Vision 6

Skokie Vision #6: There's no reason we can't have a "both/and" in Skokie when it comes to thriving businesses at Westfield Old Orchard Mall and in our neighborhood commercial districts. We've been moving in the right direction lately, and thanks to the grassroots Meetup on Main, led by Lissa Levy (who is also running as an Independent in the upcoming election), we know how to coalesce diverse visions into "no small plans."

As Trustee, I would make sure that we don't approach economic development from a stance of desperation, and instead make it easy for those who share our vision of an inclusive, sustainable community to put their shingle up here.
