We’re excited to share two new examples of how Jewish Neighborhood Development Council of Chicago (JNDC) is helping strengthen and beautify our neighborhood business corridors — supporting both economic vitality and community pride.

At North Shore Kosher Bakery, new decorative graphics now cover the “back room” windows facing Touhy Avenue. With JNDC’s encouragement and collaboration — and the trust built through ongoing relationships with the owners — the bakery has transformed what once appeared as a vacant stretch of storefronts into a bright and welcoming display that reflects the energy of the neighborhood.

Eastern Style Pizza has completed a beautifully refurbished sign, partially funded through the Touhy Western TIF program. JNDC supported the process from start to finish, advising on design options, helping identify vendors, and guiding the timely submission of paperwork to ensure the project’s success.

These visible improvements are part of JNDC’s ongoing effort to collaborate with local businesses to boost economic vibrancy, promote local investment, and reinforce the character of West Rogers Park.
