Can untaxing buildings breathe new life into Chicago? What if one of the most powerful tools to build a more vibrant city has been hiding in plain sight?

On Thursday, April 30th, a5 Director of Civic Strategies, Ben Schulman, will emcee “Tax & the City,” a Progress & Poverty Institute event. The evening will feature a keynote from former Milwaukee mayor, John Norquist, and a panel of top economic and tax policy minds, featuring Daryl Fairweather (Chief Economist, Redfin), Drake Warren (Cook County District 10 Commissioner-Elect), Dr. Josie Faass (Executive Director, PPI), Greg Miller (Executive Director, Center for Land Economics), and more.

Join us for an evening of comedy, conversation & connection as we explore how shifting taxes off homes and onto land can blast blight, ignite investment and fortify Chicago’s fiscal future.
