Company Description

Dedicated to greening and beautifying Chicago's expressways, gateways and neighborhoods, Chicago Gateway Green was founded in 1986 on the belief that beauty and sustainability go hand in hand. Since then, Chicago Gateway Green and its partners have helped to improve both the local environment and the quality of life for millions of Chicagoland residents and visitors. A 501(c)3 non-profit organization, Chicago Gateway Green improves Chicago's communities through three key programs: the Expressway Partnership, transforming city roadways into landscaped parkways; the International Sculpture Program, beautifying gateways through the installation of public, international art on expressways; and the Tree Partnership Program, a large-scale volunteer tree planting initiative that transforms vacant land into green spaces. The organization has broad support across the region's business and civic community and serves as a model for effective public-private partnerships.
