South Philly Review
Bringing good jobs to the port
Work has officially begun on a new $42 million distribution center within a mile of the Packer Avenue Marine Terminal.
PhilaPort officially broke ground on the 201,621-square-foot warehouse on March 4 near 3rd Street and Pattison Avenue, and the new facility is expected to create more than 200 jobs for the local economy.
“The commonwealth’s $300 million investment in the port has given PhilaPort the tools it needs to improve its competitive position and create more family-sustaining middle-class jobs that are needed now more than ever,” Mayor Jim Kenney said at the windy groundbreaking ceremony.

A total of 110 people incarcerated in state prisons have died from COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic.
In April, in an effort to slow the spread of the coronavirus inside state prisons, Gov. Tom Wolf issued an executive order establishing the Temporary Program to Reprieve Sentences.
The targeted effort applies to prisoners serving sentences for nonviolent convictions who would be eligible for release within the next nine months, or who are considered vulnerable for infection and are within a year of their release date. That includes those who are 65 or older, have an autoimmune disorder, or have a chronic medical condition such as heart disease or diabetes.
