The REM Network reports that mayor Street has awarded the area of Frankford Avenue between Sellers and Margaret over $1,000,000 in redevelopment funds.
Mayor John Street launched the ReStore Philadelphia Corridors program with an initial round of $21 million in funding. The program is a complement to the ongoing Neighborhood Transformation Initiative, and it was split among 36 neighborhoods.
This Commercial Corridor Grant of $1,000,000 is due to the efforts of Councilman Daniel J. Savage. He secured these funds for Frankford and is tirelessly working to revitalize this neighborhood. We need to give credit where credit is due. He has done more for this community in one year than many have done in the past twenty years.
