"The Loop has a residential population of about 20,000, and a worker population of about 370,000 in normal times," said Chicago Loop Alliance President and CEO Michael Edwards. "Workers are the lifeblood of the Loop's storefront economy. And what we're hearing more and more is that people are missing the office and are missing downtown. Working from home full-time has lost its luster for some, and the Loop needs people here if the stores, restaurants and services we love have any hope of surviving. So we wanted to create a one-stop shop for getting back to work in the Loop safely."
