A large crowd of residents gathered in the Chickie’s & Pete’s parking lot on April 5 to speak out against a proposal that would bring a Parx Casino sports book inside the popular restaurant.
More than 100 residents mostly from the Packer Park neighborhood held signs and spoke in strong opposition of having gambling more prominent in their neighborhood.
“I wanted people to know what was going on,” said Barbara Capozzi, president of the Packer Park Neighborhood Association. “The legal process alone is probably not going to stop Pete (Ciarrocchi). It’s Parx (Casino), too. They’re a great organization but it’s all about money to them. This is our neighborhood, and there is no neighborhood in this city that fights harder for ourselves.”
PhilaPort breaks ground on new $42 million distribution center Catherine Dunn, The Philadelphia Inquirer
In an ongoing bid to make Philadelphia’s port more competitive with New York and Baltimore, elected officials and port leadership on Thursday kicked off construction of a $42 million warehouse in South Philly.
The building is going up a mile from the Packer Avenue Marine Terminal and is expected to create up to 300 jobs. The state is paying for the project under Gov. Tom Wolf’s multiyear port development plan, an investment of more than $300 million in cranes and other infrastructure.
“Today the Port of Philadelphia is the fastest growing container port on the U.S. East Coast, and this new distribution center is an important step to improve port facilities and bring more traffic to the port,” Wolf said in a video message that aired during a live-streaming of the groundbreaking ceremony.
