The 5 Principles

Our Little Italy Chicago Neighborhood Association (LICNA) was founded on 5 principles:

Ensure the quality and availability of public and private community services; and maintain the safety and mobility of the people who live and work in Little Italy;
Promote Little Italy as a place to conduct business and facilitate the development of a vital and prosperous business community;
Collect and distribute information about topics of interest to the community and provide a forum for residents and business owners to express their opinions;
Gain consensus on such topics and speak as a uniform voice for the community;
Promote a spirit of cooperation, goodwill and neighborliness, and encourage people to openly communicate and participate in the exchange of ideas about how to improve the community and preserve those features that make this community unique.
