Daily News Editorial: This is the summer to help shape Philadelphia plans for 2035
The Daily News Editorial Board writes this morning that for the first time in close to 50 years, Philadelphia citizens have the chance to help shape the Planning Commission’s comprehensive, city-wide plans for development and preservation of city infrastructure with its Philadelphia2035 initiative. The board, too, reminds the Commission that “more aggressively” marketing the events will help get that message to more interested folks.
The editorial also recognized PlanPhilly’s coverage of planning issues: “the best go-to source.”
