Devon Avenue SSA #43 to Host Special Annual Meeting as West Rogers Park Enters Holiday Season

By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/West Rogers Park ·

West Rogers Park residents and business owners are invited to participate in a special Annual Meeting for the Devon Avenue Special Service Area (SSA #43) scheduled for December 11, 2025. The meeting will take place at 9 a.m., with the final location to be determined.

The Devon Avenue SSA #43 Commission, which includes local business representatives like Maura Nemes from Wheels of Chicago and Mohammed Junaid Butt from Sabri Nihari Restaurant, is seeking to fill three vacant commissioner seats. Eligible applicants must either live, own property, or operate a business within the SSA #43 boundaries. The meeting comes as the neighborhood's 'Live Love Shop Rogers Park' holiday rebate program is in full swing, offering residents who collect

50 in receipts from at least four independently-owned businesses within Rogers Park a $50 rebate, while those collecting $200 or more can receive a $75 rebate.

This meeting builds on the momentum of recent community initiatives like the inaugural Arts on Devon Festival, which showcased the rich cultural diversity of West Rogers Park through traditional dance troupes, emerging solo artists, visual arts, and international cuisine from Devon's renowned eateries. West Rogers Park residents interested in community development are encouraged to attend the December 11 meeting or contact the Rogers Park Business Alliance at 773-508-5885 for more information about getting involved.
