Mission Statement
A non-profit organization dedicated to greening and beautifying Chicago’s expressway, gateways, and neighborhoods. We lead urban beautification and greening projects that make a positive environmental and aesthetic impact on Chicago.
Description
Chicago Gateway Green improves Chicago’s communities through three key programs: the Expressway Partnership, transforming city roadways into landscaped parkways; the International Sculpture Program, beautifying gateways through the installation of public, international art on expressways; and the Day of Impact Program, a large scale tree planting initiative that transforms vacant land into tree filled green spaces. The organization has broad support across the region’s business and civic community and serves as a model for effective public private partnerships.
