    NORTH RIVER COMMISSION

    Awarded: Awarded Amount: $85,000

    Confluence is a river-focused community development effort in Albany Park that began in 2020. Since its inception, over $7.1m has been allocated to local riverfront projects, including $3.5m of local funding to improve Ronan Park as a dynamic public space and river-centric neighborhood gateway, following a community-driven plan prepared through Confluence. Most recently, NRC and Great Rivers partners Urban Rivers developed a program that will implement in-stream habitat improvement, ecology education, and river recreation programs at River Park. This program was funded in late 2022 at approximately $350,000 and is slated to begin in 2023. Finally, a project titled “Lawrence Gateway'' will create a new development on Lawrence Avenue, just south of Ronan Park, turning a parking lot and warehouse into a new mixed use development with affordable housing. This approximately $17m development is supported by a Chicago Recovery Plan Grant of over $3,500,000. Confluence continues to center the Chicago River as a key asset for Albany Park within ongoing planning, community engagement, and program implementation at parks and riverfront sites across the community. NRC will continue to act as a community convener; surfacing local priorities and bridging public access to key stakeholders, funders, and decisionmakers. Through Confluence, the organization will continue to direct plans, projects, and programs that improve the health of Chicago river, create riverfront amenities, improve community access, and build neighborhood capacity for sustained programming and continuous improvements.
