SSA# 13 Stockyards Industrial Park

Program overview:

The Back of the Yards Neighborhood Council is the sole service provider for Special Service Area (SSA) #13, which is also known as the Stockyard Industrial Park. The boundaries are 47th to the South, Pershing to the North, Halsted to the East and Ashland to the West. Business owners in the Stockyards pay approximately 1% of their taxes into the SSA. The BYNC manages those funds and gives them back in the form of services such as security, landscaping, tenant retention, and advertising. Click here for a map of SSA #13.

New gates have been installed and utilized in the evenings and on weekends to limit traffic in and out of the Stockyards.

Tenant attraction and retention
