Armitage Industrial Corridor Planning
The Armitage Industrial Corridor Framework Plan aims to modernize the Northwest Side corridor through strategic City support for local businesses and infrastructure, especially involving jobs, transportation and overall competitiveness.

The framework also includes recommendations for Planned Manufacturing District #15, located within the central portion of the corridor.
The document's adoption by Plan Commission formalizes the framework's goals and strategies for public realm improvements, policy enhancements, community-oriented cooperation and related efforts to promote job-oriented investments.
One of Chicago's 26 designated industrial corridors, the Armitage Industrial Corridor is generally bounded by Grand Avenue on the north, Oak Park Avenue on the west, Cortland Street and Bloomingdale Avenue on the south, and Cicero Avenue on the east.
