Promised jobs, North Philly community backs Beury redevelopment on N. Broad

Property owners along North Broad Street inside the new district paid an extra fee to support economic development efforts along the commercial corridor.

Crews are expected to start this week on improving the intersection of Broad Street, Germantown Avenue, and Erie Avenue.

The plan approved by Philadelphia’s Civic Design Review board would put a 13-story apartment tower in the site of the historic boxing ring.
