PILSEN — City planners are inviting Pilsen residents to weigh in as they develop a land use plan for the neighborhood.

The City of Chicago Department of Planning and Development will host a workshop from 5:30-8 p.m. Tuesday at Dvorak Park, 1119 W. Cullerton St. The land use plan will guide development and decision making in Pilsen for years to come, city officials said.

Tuesday's meeting will focus on land use issues and opportunities related to industrial areas and open space.

The meeting is presented in partnership with the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning and the Pilsen Neighborhood Community Council.
