The "Main Street" and commercial hub of the community is Lawrence Avenue. In 1976, a coalition of Lawrence Avenue business owners from the Albany Park Chamber of Commerce united with the nonprofit North River Commission community organization to create the Lawrence Avenue Development Corporation (LADCOR). Together, these organizations, working loosely with local aldermen and government officials, have attracted more than $75 million in investment and 3,000 jobs to the Albany Park community.
