Calling All Cabrini Neighbors – Community Conversation on Cabrini Now – Dec 11th

Good afternoon – we have an exciting invitation for you!
We are thrilled to invite you to our third and final community event planned for Cabrini NOW! Together with residents and other stakeholders, we’ve created a draft redevelopment plan for CHA-owned land in the Cabrini area through the Cabrini NOW process. The purpose of the event is to share and get input from community members on the draft redevelopment plan, in addition to sharing what happens next in the Cabrini NOW process and after.
The event will take place on Wednesday, December 11 from 5-7pm at the St Matthew United Methodist Church (1000 N Orleans St). Please see attached or below for the event flyer. It will be a family friendly event that will provide seating, hot chocolate, cookies, and other snacks and beverages for attendees in a wheelchair-accessible space with restrooms. Some street parking is available, but most of it is metered or permit only.
We will share an engagement summary from our July 31 community event soon – please stay tuned for updates from us on that. We will provide physical copies of the engagement summary and the presentation slides at event. The video presentation from our July 31 community event is posted at bit.ly/CabriniNOWEvent2Video. For more information, please visit www.thecha.org/cabrininow
We would like to have as many community members attend the event as possible and would appreciate your help in getting the word out!
