Join the hundreds of business leaders making a difference in Center City.

Jobs are back, salaries are rising, Center City’s population continues growing, conventions, tourism and retail are all rebounding, and pedestrian vitality is almost fully restored in many portions of the downtown. Office vacancy, however, is rising, challenged by a partial return to office and reinforced by a wage tax that encourages suburban residents to remain remote.

When it comes to being a great place to do business and attract talent, Philly works. With a downtown that doesn't stop when the workday ends, Philadelphia offers satisfaction in and out of the office.

What will it take to restore all jobs and sidewalk vitality? What has CCD been doing to advance our progress and what more can business, civic and political leaders do to achieve a truly inclusive recovery? Read the summer Digest newsletter to learn more about a recommended agenda for inclusive recovery.
