Center City District (CCD) has retained a group of local artists to create a major display of new banners, currently being installed across Center City, to coincide with the partial reopening of businesses and the gradual return of workers and visitors to the downtown.

The return to shopping and dining will be slow and gradual, influenced by how well and consistently businesses address public concerns about public health and safety, as well as the City of Philadelphia’s flexibility in encouraging the expanded use of public space to accommodate seating and waiting lines, according to results of a new CCD survey of Philadelphia residents.

It’s official: cocktails to-go are now available throughout Philadelphia! As part of the ongoing effort to support local businesses, a dedicated webpage has been added to the CCD site that provides a running list of participating locations.

CCD is resuming work on enhancements to the Discovery Garden, which will expand the park’s opportunities for play with new components that engage children from a broader range of ages.

CCD and Mural Arts Philadelphia are pleased to announce a streetscape enhancement project to bring original works of art to a variety of downtown businesses that have been temporarily shuttered due to the current health crisis.

Center City District’s new report outlines Philadelphia’s strengths and challenges to be addressed as we create a roadmap for recovery.
