The Philadelphia City Council approved a resolution to amend the Gallery Neighborhood Improvement District boundaries. The amendment excludes certain areas within the previously established district, specifically bounded by Filbert Street on the north, 10th Street on the east, 11th Street on the west, and Market Street on the south. This action aligns with the requirements of the Community and Economic Improvement Act, allowing property owners the opportunity to object to the amendment and requiring public hearings for the benefit of affected stakeholders.
This amendment refines the boundaries of the improvement district, impacting property development and neighborhood planning by tailoring district services to a more focused area, thereby enhancing the targeted improvement efforts within Philadelphia’s urban core.
