Zoning and the future of Frankford

I posted the link below to the Inquirer’s zoning article yesterday. But what does this have to do with Frankford? It is hard to imagine but zoning in this city matters a great deal. It is blueprint for how the city grows.

The existing zoning code has become so outdated that it will be completely revised and then the city will be remapped. This will change the face of the city for decades to come. Frankford, because of its strategic location as a transportation hub, may see substantial change as well. We will have the opportunity to provide our input during the process but it requires an informed community to make some intelligent decisions. It’s time to become aware of the issues and the possibilities.
