Office & Employment

    Economic Recovery

    Monitoring Philadelphia’s Economic Recovery

    This Center City District and Central Philadelphia Development Corporation monthly report on the Philadelphia economy and the vitality of Center City shows that the employment rebound in the summer and fall began to stall in November. By contrast, housing markets remain strong and restaurants are finding multiple ways to sustain their business. Once a well-organized vaccination program begins nationally with sufficient supply and major employers begin to reopen their offices, signs should point to a more robust recovery by spring 2021.

    Interests

    The Center City District (CCD), Central Philadelphia Development Corporation (CPDC) and Center City District Foundation (CCDF) work together to enhance the vitality and competitiveness of Philadelphia's downtown. In 1991 the business leadership organization CPDC created the CCD business improvement district to deliver daily services with the goal of making Center City clean and safe. This helped transform Center City into a vibrant 24-hour downtown, attractive to businesses, residents, students, shoppers and tourists. In addition, the CCD is responsible for the management of Dilworth, Sister Cities, John F. Collins and Cret Parks, four extraordinary public spaces in the heart of Center City. CCDF, the charitable affiliate of the CCD, was launched in 2016 to support the next generation of public space improvements in Center City Philadelphia.
