ULI Chicago, with support from the City of Naperville, convened a diverse group of leading real estate and development professionals from across the region on June 10 and 11 to identify redevelopment opportunities for the numerous City-owned properties along 5th Avenue near the Naperville Metra Station. The Sept. 10 meeting will include a 30- to 40-minute presentation of their findings and recommendations followed by a question-and-answer session with those in attendance. 

ULI Chicago will issue their final report to the City six to eight weeks after the public presentation. The Naperville City Council will not discuss or take any formal action on the recommendations at the Sept. 10 meeting.
