Frankford talks news businesses at civic meeting about old business
There were no zoning issues to discuss at the Frankford Civic Association meeting on March 7, but there was a host of old business to update.
- 4834 Penn Street which was proposed by the new owners to be a recovery house, has been boarded up and is vacant. The new owners have had some conversation with neighbors about their plans but have not contacted the Civic to make a presentation at a meeting.
- Police have been active on the 4700 block of Griscom Street making good arrests which has helped calm that area down. Related arrests in the area are making a difference in the area of Foulkrod and Frankford as well.
