Community Survey - Pilsen Industrial Corridor

Since the mid-1800s, the 1,070-acre area now known as the Pilsen Industrial Corridor has powered the neighborhood’s growth. It first provided jobs that drew Bohemian and Polish families to the area, followed by Mexican American workers in the mid-20th century. That "live-work" connection remains a defining feature today, with the corridor continuing to provide steady manufacturing and distribution work opportunities to families nearby.

The corridor provides significant benefits to the Chicago region:

Jobs & Economic Impact: Supporting more than 12,000 jobs, it serves as a major employment center for the near Southwest Side and surrounding communities.
Diverse Industry: It hosts businesses that provide a wide range of essential services to Chicago and the U.S., including food distributors, manufacturers, and industrial operators.

As the City launches a new planning process to study the effectiveness of the Pilsen Industrial Corridor and Planned Manufacturing District, your input through this community survey is essential. Your feedback will help shape future strategies for land use, transportation, and public investments to ensure the corridor continues to support local families while addressing community goals.
