As a collaboration between Auburn Gresham and Englewood, the portal is part of the Southwest Smart Communities Initiative by enhancing existing digital systems and improving access to the web. The Chicago Lawn Portal in particular has seen success in engaging its residents and encouraging them to participate by contributing their own stories. Local businesses can also post important information about themselves, including their location, hours of operation, contact information and current sales or promotions. This business directory is especially useful for those businesses who do not currently have a website.
