The Philadelphia Land Bank has approved a modification to the development plans previously agreed upon with West NoMa Revitalization Group LLC. The original project included multiple properties on Pallas Street and one on Cambridge Street. Due to the poor condition of the Pallas Street properties, the developer has been allowed to return these properties to the Land Bank and proceed solely with the renovation of the property at 4041 Cambridge Street. This amendment reduces the project scope to focus on the renovation of one home at this address.
This decision is significant as it reflects the challenges faced in urban redevelopment projects, particularly when dealing with deteriorated properties. By allowing the developer to focus resources on a viable renovation project, this resolution supports targeted revitalization efforts within the community.
