Lori Lightfoot's Invest South/West was a great Chicago program with cool branding. Why does Brandon Johnson want to get rid of it?
An Invest South/West promotion is posted June 9, 2023, at a planned three-story 58-unit housing structure at 838 W. 79th St. in Chicago.
The latest salvo in this battle of branding is Invest South/West, a signature Lightfoot program that kicked off in 2019 and aimed to level up investment in Chicago for the benefit of 10 historically underfunded neighborhoods on the South and West sides. The focus was on helping build vibrant, walkable, transit-oriented communities and on getting oft-myopic developers to look south and west and not just fight with each other over the middle and the north.
As we have noted, Invest South/West had a major commitment of $750 million in public money and, just as importantly, a sizable buy-in from the private sector actually doing the investing. During the Lightfoot administration, we lauded such investments as Englewood Connect, United Yards and several others.
