WHAT IS A SPECIAL SERVICE AREA

Special Service Areas are localized tax districts that fund expanded services and programs through a localized property tax levy within a contiguous area. The enhanced services are in addition to those currently provided through the city.   

 

The South Shore Chamber of Commerce is the proud service provider of SSA #42.

ABOUT THE SSA

Area businesses, property owners, and consumers are surveyed about their vision for the neighborhood and the need for specific services.

 

Special Service Area #42 was created in partnership with 5th Ward Alderman Leslie Hairston and the South Shore Chamber of Commerce to provide additional services to the business corridors.
