Working with the City of Philadelphia and with the support of three Administrations, CCD has helped make Center City's sidewalks cleaner, brighter, safer and bustling with activity. Graffiti is virtually non-existent and the number of homeless people on the streets has been substantially reduced due to improved services and employment opportunities.
Crime is down and attitudes about Center City are up.
The CCD's dedicated board and staff are proud of our contributions, and look forward to another decade of accomplishments. It also lists special events, contact information for a variety of problems and questions, and dozens of links to related Web sites. The Weightman Group created the campaign. The Center City District, a private sector organization dedicated to making Center City Philadelphia clean, safe and attractive, is committed to maintaining Center City's competitive edge as a regional employment center, a quality place to live, and a premier regional destination for dining, shopping and cultural attractions. CCD Executive Director Paul R. Levy and Avenue of the Arts Executive Director Karen A. Lewis participated in the planting of 10 cherry and crabapple trees at Broad and Vine streets, a major gateway to Center City.
