  • Northeast Corridor Capital Investment Plan Fiscal Years 2017-2021
    Northeast Corridor Capital Investment Plan Fiscal Years 2017-2021 April 2016 Congress established the Northeast Corridor Commission (the Commission) to develop coordinated strategies for improving the Northeast’s core rail network in recognition of the inherent challenges of planning, financing, and implementing major infrastructure improvements that cross multiple jurisdictions. The expectation is that by coming together to take collective responsibility for the NEC, these disparate stakeholders will achieve a level of success that far exceeds the potential reach of any individual organization. The Commission is governed by a board comprised of one member from each of the NEC states (Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland) and the District of Columbia; four members from Amtrak; and five members from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). The Commission also includes non-voting representatives from four freight railroads, states with connecting corridors and several commuter operators in the Region.

  • 900-04 N 63Rd St, Overbrook Gardens Apartments OVERVIEW
    COMMENT ON NATIONAL REGISTER NOMINATION ADDRESS: 900-04 N 63rd St, Overbrook Gardens Apartments OVERVIEW: The Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission (PHMC) has requested comments from the Philadelphia Historical Commission on the National Register nomination of 900-04 N 63rd Street, located in the Overbrook neighborhood of West Philadelphia and historically known as the Overbrook Garden Apartments. PHMC is charged with implementing federal historic preservation regulations in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, including overseeing the National Register of Historic Places in the state. PHMC reviews all such nominations before forwarding them to the National Park Service for action. As part of the process, PHMC must solicit comments on every National Register nomination from the appropriate local government. The Philadelphia Historical Commission speaks on behalf of the City of Philadelphia in historic preservation matters including the review of National Register nominations. Under federal regulation, the local government not only must provide comments, but must also provide a forum for public comment on nominations. Such a forum is provided during the Philadelphia Historical Commission’s meetings. According to the nomination, Overbrook Garden Apartments is significant in the Area of Community Planning and Development, as a prime example of the large, efficiency apartment building that became a highly desirable form of housing in West Philadelphia during the 1920s. The building is also significant in the Area of Architecture as an important example of the Spanish Colonial Revival style in Philadelphia and representative of a courtyard-type apartment building, a building form that became prevalent in West Philadelphia during the 1920s.
