Children’s Hospital Discusses Master Plan for Southwest Center City

Over the next 20-or-so years, the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia plans to expand its presence in the city by adding a nine-acre, open ambulatory care and research campus in Southwest Center City, on the east side of the Schuylkill River in the section often called the “Devil’s Pocket” in Grays Ferry. CHOP has told residents of that area that they wanted to be as transparent as possible during the process, and as part of that transparency, they held their fourth community meeting last night at the Philadelphia School at 25th and Lombard.
The multipurpose room in the school was packed full or residents and, after a 30-minute presentation and slides (which we’ll post here when we get them), most of their questions were answered, even though some feigned skepticism or worry about more construction in an area that’s seen a lot of it in recent years.  Read more here…
