Voices from the Community

CNI serves neighborhoods on Chicago’s South Side. We have leveraged over $350 million in new industrial, retail, and recreational development in a single census tract in Pullman through the New Markets Tax Credits program. Since the first NMTC investment in 2013, violent crime in the neighborhood has dropped 52% and jobs in the community have increased by 43%.
