[Entrance on 17
th Street.]Members of the community interested in historic preservation in Philadelphia are invited
to attend this forum to discuss Philadelphia�s historic district designation process. The
March 14
th forum will be a chance for the community to review the recommendations bythe Historic Preservation Task Force.
The forum is being sponsored by the Historic Preservation Task Force that has been
convened by Philadelphia City Councilwoman Jannie L. Blackwell and chaired by Gary
Hack, dean of the School of the Design of the University of Pennsylvania.
The task force has been charged with making recommendations to Councilwoman Jannie
L. Blackwell, City Council, Mayor John Street, and the Historical Commission,
concerning the historic district designation process. The task force has investigated how
other cities deal with these issues in order to understand best practices in framing its
recommendations. The task force has held three public meetings in this series focusing on
inclusion and the historic district designation process and the impact of district
designation on people with low and moderate incomes.
The recommendations of the Task Force aim to improve the process through which
historic districts are formed. The Task Force will recommend a series of actions to
Councilwoman Blackwell, which will, among other things, increase community
participation in the preservation process. In the spirit both of the recommendations and
of the forum series, participants are encouraged to provide feedback and comment on the
recommendations.
