The Philadelphia City Council approved the continuation and expansion of the Fishtown Kensington Area Business Improvement District (FKABID) until December 31, 2029. The decision reaffirms FKABID’s role in enhancing commercial properties along key corridors such as Frankford Avenue, Front Street, and East/West Girard Avenue. The plan includes activities such as streetscape improvements, marketing initiatives, and public safety measures. The boundaries were extended to include additional properties to maximize district-wide benefits.
This continuation supports local economic development and community growth, fostering a vibrant commercial environment and improving quality of life for residents and businesses.
