GREEN MESSAGE
Did you know that SSA #33 worked with the Chicago Dept. of Transportation to plant 50 new trees - including creating 26 brand NEW tree pits - within the SSA boundaries earlier this month? Each tree removes carbon dioxide and other pollutants from the air, catches and filters hundreds of gallons of rainwater per year, increase spending in our commercial districts, and raise property values.
NEW NEIGHBORHOOD SAFETY & SECURITY REBATE PROGRAMS
After consulting with SSA #33 taxpayers and neighborhood stakeholders over the past six months, as well as engaging a public quality-of-life consultant (
Responsible Hospitality Institute
President & Founder
Jim Peters),
WPB SSA #33 has updated its previous graffiti abatement rebate program to include a range of
safety-related rebates:
- Security cameras
- Exterior lighting
- Anti-smash glass film
- Window repair
- Graffiti removal
- Private security
The new rebates are for eligible properties within the boundaries of WPB SSA #33, and will reimburse 50 percent of the cost of one or more of these neighborhood safety measures, up to $1,000 per measure annually, per location. Private security reimbursements are now eligible for 75% UP TO $5,000 annually, per location.
