Loop Alliance Provides Online “Back to Work” Toolkit

Chicago Loop Alliance has created an online “Back to Work” toolkit intended to provide information on returning to work safely. Among other features, it includes stories from workers who have already returned to the office or store; comprehensive information on how to safely get to the Loop; a guide to what’s open in the Loop; and cool-weather cycling tips.

“The Loop has a residential population of about 20,000, and a worker population of about 370,000 in normal times,” said Loop Alliance President and CEO Michael Edwards. “Workers are the lifeblood of the Loop’s storefront economy. And what we’re hearing more and more is that people are missing the office and are missing downtown.”

He continued, “Working from home full-time has lost its luster for some, and the Loop needs people here if the stores, restaurants and services we love have any hope of surviving.”
