30th Street Station District Plan Open House March 16

Amtrak, Drexel and its partners will hold a fourth 30th Street Station District Plan Open House on Weds. March 16, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., in the North Waiting Room at 30th Street Station. At the event, attendees will be able to review the Draft District Plan, which serves as the culmination of ideas generated from three previous open house events and stakeholder feedback gathered from surveys, comments and committees. The development of this Draft District Plan brings the 30th Street Station community one step closer to the final District Plan, which will present a vision for the 30th Street Station District for the next 25 years and beyond.

The public can also learn more about the project by visiting the project website, www.PhillyDistrict30.com for more information, newsletter opportunities, news coverage and more.
