Roadmap For Growth: Defining Growth for Philadelphia
Wednesday, April 17, 2019
5:00 PM – 5:15 PM Registration
5:15 PM – 7:00 PM Program
7:00 PM – 7:30 PM Networking
The City of Philadelphia is currently at a crossroads. Gains in population growth, which can positively grow our tax base, are countered by a drop in median household income and a rise in deep poverty compared to peer cities. This poses the question: Is Philadelphia growing? It depends on who you ask — and on how you define growth. In order to effectively map out the future of Philadelphia, it is imperative to understand the significance of real estate development, business creation, and job growth.
Join us for this issue forum, where we will examine growth within individual Philadelphia neighborhoods and what this could mean for our city to thrive. Attendees will receive a copy of findings on growth by City Council District in Philadelphia, which will inspire conversations on how to uplift our city and move a shared economic agenda forward.
