Preserving Philadelphia’s Future:
Key Recommendations from the
Philadelphia Historic Preservation Task Force
In May 2017, Mayor Jim Kenney created the Philadelphia Historic Preservation Task Force to review the policies that support historic preservation in the city and to make recommendations to strengthen those policies.
He charged the Task Force to provide recommendations in four areas:
Survey of historic resources
Incentives for preservation
Regulations for preservation outcomes
Outreach and education
As a result of the final report issued earlier this year, the Mayor's Administration and Councilmember Mark Squilla have already begun working to implement recommendations provided by the Task Force.
There are always opportunities for you to get involved to make these recommendations a reality too.
