In June, the Little Village Environment Justice Organization published guidelines for future planning development in the neighborhood. The guidelines came in response to Chicago Department of Planning & Development’s 2017 action plan regarding land use for Little Village and Pilsen.

In the guidelines, the Little Village Environmental Justice Organization advocated that environmental justice principles be “implemented to ensure the land use decisions do not pose an environmental and safety risks to Little Village.”
