Wight & Company was honored to be a part of The Department of Planning and Development’s Public Outdoor Plaza (POP!) program launched in early 2022 to help community-based organizations revitalize underutilized land along neighborhood retail corridors. The initiative is part of the Chicago Recovery Plan’s strategy for equitable economic recovery and support for thriving and safe communities. Our team participated in the development of two POP! Courts, POPGrove in the Garfield Park neighborhood and The Mahalia Jackson Court in the Chatham neighborhood.
