“South Shore is one of the 10 communities participating in the Invest South/West program, which is sponsored by the city of Chicago. So we’re looking forward to those investments coming into the community,” said Tonya Trice, executive director of the South Shore Chamber of Commerce. “We’re also looking for capital improvement projects such as the Obama Center, which is coming less than a mile away.”
And the South Shore Chamber says it has helped distribute $1.6 million in grants and loans to the community this year – money they say has helped sustain the neighborhood’s small businesses during both the pandemic and civil unrest.
