An Association Working For You!

The Central Lake View Merchants Association (CLMA) is a group of merchants dedicated to improving the business climate within Central Lake View. Our members represent a myriad of retail and entertainment establishments, service organizations, and fine dining restaurants. Joining CLMA allows you the opportunity to network with other business owners and residents of the area.

Your membership will also support CLMA?s efforts to create exciting programs and initiatives that are in the best interests of the entire Lake View community. CLMA works closely with the City of Chicago?s Department of Planning and Development to implement and fund special neighborhood services for the Central Lake View Business community such as: Street Beautification, Street Cleaning and Maintenance, Community Safety, and Promotions & Advertising.

CLMA also uses your membership dollars to sponsor street festivals, garden walks, donations to neighborhood charities, and informative business workshops. Your support also funds exciting promotions like fashion shows and CLMA's Ambassador of Central Lake View, who walks the Central Lake View area promoting all Member businesses.

Essentially CLMA's ultimate goal is to promote economic growth in Central Lake View, and to preserve its great culture, diversity and stellar community image. Please join our team as we realize these goals everyday!
