Five northwest suburban mayors and The Metropolitan Planning Council plan to discuss affordable housing for the rapidly developing communities along I-90 and I-290 on May 18. The invitation-only event, at the Arlington Park Racecourse in Arlington Heights, kicks off the Charter One Workforce Housing Initiative, administered by MPC and the Housing Opportunity Development Corp. The three-year plan is aimed at helping business and community leaders address the growing affordable housing shortage in Arlington Heights, Buffalo Grove, Mount Prospect, Palatine and Rolling Meadows.
