In 2010, Portage Park is a vibrant, thriving community. All aspects of daily life - transportation, work, dining, shopping, entertainment, recreation, etc. - are within easy walking distance. Residential and commercial districts are well-maintained and known for their friendly atmosphere. Diverse business districts consist of a healthy mix of local, homegrown companies and national chains that actively support the community they serve.

Economic vitality is the foundation for continued community progress and livability. A master development plan regulates the commercial corridors' development and appearance to ensure that each aspect of the business district complements the entire district, in terms of both the goods and services they provide as well as the visual impression the area makes on local community members and visitors alike. Strong cooperation between residents, business owners, government officials and other stakeholders ensures that the development plan continues to be carefully implemented and maintained.
