“New program: the empowerment zones the philadelphia empowerment zone (pez) was established in 1994 as a community development and economic revitalization program, created federally and guided locally. The ez's goal was support strategies and programs that improve public safety, advance human development, create a welcoming environment, and invigorate commerce. The pez program continues to build healthy, self-sufficient and safe environments by working with residents, business owners, and other stakeholders to raise the quality of life in their areas. In 2004 pez created a project called the neighborhood funding stream, a community endowment that makes annual grants in each pez neighborhood. To date, the neighborhood funding stream invests 5% annually through economic development grants to the pez communities. Grant activities include: tax preparation and financial literacy, workforce development and job training, commercial development, business technical assistance and commercial corridor revitalization. New program: more park, less way the department of parks and recreation partnered with penn praxis and the penn project on civic engagement to develop a plan for the parkway that is shaped around projects that can be implemented quickly. They gathered community input through 4 public meetings and the result was the plan called "more park, less way." the first phase of the plan to be implemented was repurposing a parking lot in front of eakins oval into an innovative play space for children and adults alike.”
