from Page 5 of the PIDC 2016 Annual Review:
Creating Workplaces for the Future
Along the Lower Schuylkill River, PIDC, the City, and our partners continue to transform the 3,700 acre district into a 21st century commercial campus. In 2016, the University of Pennsylvania opened the new Pennovation Center, a dynamic anchor for job growth in the Innovation District. Construction was completed on the Bartram’s Mile. Slated to open in Spring 2017, this continuation of the Schuylkill River Trail will bring access to the area for recreation and connection to the surrounding neighborhoods.
PIDC is a nonprofit partnership founded by the City of Philadelphia and the Chamber of Commerce for Greater Philadelphia in 1958.
