With projects like the Divine Lorraine, the Metropolitan Opera House and the Beury Building, the community has a nervous excitement about this revitalization and the type of opportunities it could mean for their business, homes and families all along North Broad. The 2017 State of North Broad report provides an in-depth look at the changing landscape of North Broad Street and adjacent areas. From new to proposed development to quality of life, this reports aims to keep stakeholders connected and informed about this corridor, and what its revitalization means to them. Overall, you will see that North Broad is experiencing various highs and lows. You’ll see slight increases in statistics like population growth and income, yet the area still struggles with high unemployment and low educational attainment. Overall, our job at the North Broad Renaissance (NBR) is to take this information and data, determine how we can support the positive and mitigate the negative, and work towards inclusive growth than could positively impact the entire North Broad community – including our most vulnerable population.

Working together, we can create cleaner and safer streets, improve greenspace, and connect communities to resources and each other. These efforts can serve as the foundation for successful economic development and generate sustainable employment opportunities for families in North Philadelphia and beyond. The opportunity is right along one of Philadelphia’s most prominent corridors – North Broad Street! You’ve heard it before: North Broad Street was once considered the "Workshop of the World," with amazing infrastructures, businesses, arts and culture and a thriving community. Today, the corridor has its share of challenges, including more than 4,800 crimes that took place along North Broad Street in 2015, a 14.3% vacancy rate, and a large population living in poverty. However, with the completion our 2020 Vision – the community-driven strategic plan for the NBR – we are on the road to re-establish North Broad Street as the huge economic driver it can become, and revitalize communities, culture and commerce.
