Major Activities

Activity 2

Dilworth Plaza Project -- Expenditures incurred during 2011 went toward the design and construction of Dilworth Plaza in front of Philadelphia's City Hall. Dilworth Plaza will be transformed from an inaccessible, multi-level, unattractive, hard-surface plaza into a sustainable, well-maintained, green public space with no stairs or barriers from the street. By covering existing openings and removing walls, steps and barriers that make the plaza inaccessible today, the renovated Dilworth Plaza will add 20,571 square feet of new useable area (an increase of 21%) and will result in an expanded 120,557 square-foot public space. The new plaza will have a large lawn, tree groves, a programmable fountain and space for 400 benches and chairs. The underground will be dramatically improved as a new transit gateway, providing entrances to Broad Street and Market Street subways and trolley lines. New elevators will make the transit levels accessible for the first time. A construction contract was awarded on November 16, 2011 and a building permit was issued on November 25, 2011.

Activity 3

Festival Lighting Project -- CCDF spent all of its funding received toward the end of 2010 on a lighting and video project for the Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts (PIFA). In total, more than 400,000 people - including 170,000 from outside the region - attended the festival in venues and with partners from across the city. PIFA put Philly's diverse and extensive artistic contributions on the world's center stage.
