SSA 13: Mission Statement
Primarily, the mission of SSA #13 is to retain existing industrial businesses while attracting new companies to operate within the designated boundaries of the Area; this mission will be accomplished by providing various authorized Special Services, including, but not limited to: private security, landscaping and beautification, advertising and promotion and maintenance.
About Special Services # 13 Chicago
Special Service Area (SSA) #13, immortalized in Upton Sinclair’s novel, The Jungle, the Stockyards is largely responsible for the births of the communities that surround the area.
Businesses within a designated SSA are provided “special services” that are designed to retain businesses and attract new industrial tenants to the area.
The primary special services that SSA #13 provides are private security patrols, landscaping and public way maintenance.

Sidewalk Cleaning
SSA #13 employs a maintenance crew that performs daily sidewalk cleaning, and performs trash and debris removal.
Shuttle Bus Services
SSA #13 participates in the BYNC shuttle bus service – we offer seniors rides to local stores for grocery shopping as well as doctor appointments so they may retain their independence and shop safely!
Security Patrols
SSA #13 deploys a robust security patrol to ensure the safety of the businesses, and to help deter drag racing and crime in the Stockyards Industrial Park and Central Manufacturing District.
Power Washing
Every year the SSA has the sidewalks in the SSA power washed for spring and fall cleaning.
Landscaping
SSA #13 maintains over 70 planters and several landscape features throughout the Stockyards Industrial Park and the Central Manufacturing District. We’re always looking to expand the beautification project!
