Loop Alliance Readies “Everyone’s Neighborhood” Campaign
As the city’s economy continues to reopen, Chicago Loop Alliance will launch a new initiative on July 1 designating the Loop “Everyone’s Neighborhood.” The project will utilize banners and street-level signage along State Street, as well as partnerships with community organizations, property owners, cultural institutions and other local businesses.
While the Loop’s essential workers and 20,000 residents never left, the neighborhood saw an 80% drop in pedestrian activity during the state’s stay-at-home orders in effect since March, illustrating the importance of the Loop’s 370,000 workers and millions of annual visitors, according to the Alliance.
“The Loop is where we gather; whether that’s to enjoy Millennium Park or to show elected officials what democracy looks like, we’re proud that Chicagoans from every neighborhood see the Loop as a place for coming together,” said Chicago Loop Alliance president and CEO Michael Edwards.
