Examples of eligible uses include an art studio, artist gallery space, community resource hub (space for community meetings, classes or where information is available about community resources).

Both residential, new construction on vacant land and mixed-use commercial properties are eligible for the program.

Apply Online for City Boards and Commissions

Residents can apply online to quickly and easily place their names in nomination for appointments to serve on city boards and commissions.

Alderwoman Coggs encourages residents to get involved and consider submitting their name for consideration using the new options. “The public deserves a nomination system that is more accessible and transparent, and one that will include potential board and commission candidates from across the entire city,” she said. “Residents who want to become more civically active and involved should take advantage of this new process.”
