Stakeholders Meeting Report

John Loftus reports on last week’s meeting:

Drug dealers are operating at Foulkrod and Griscom streets as well as at Frankford Avenue and Foulkrod Street and Foulkrod and Salem streets, said Jorge Santana, state Rep. Tony Payton Jr.’s chief of staff.

Santana, speaking at last Thursday’s meeting of the Northeast EPIC Stakeholders, said he hopes Frankford residents will attend an upcoming 15th District’s Police Service Area 1 meeting to ask police to sweep away the narcotics trafficking.

The session is slated for 7 p.m. Tuesday at the second-floor conference room of Aria Health’s Frankford campus, 4900 Frankford Ave.
