Emanuel Congregation Explores Redevelopment and Renewal
Emanuel Congregation has been part of the Edgewater community for over 70 years. As we look to the future, we are exploring ways to right-size our building and create a space that better reflects the needs of today’s congregation. Redevelopment could also open opportunities for housing or commercial use — ensuring Emanuel remains a vibrant, sustainable presence on the lakefront for generations to come.
