Councilwoman Jannie Blackwell has scheduled another community meeting about the future of the former Provident Insurance Co. building at 46th and Market. The previous meeting discussing the proposed sale of the property to local developer Iron Stone Real Estate Partners took place last month, after which Blackwell halted a vote on the sale in City Council. The previous community meeting called for more transparency in the sale process.
The meeting will take place on Tuesday, Jan. 29, from 6 – 8 p.m. at West Philadelphia High School (49th and Chestnut).
The Walnut Hill Community Association also held a community meeting about the proposed development of the property earlier this month. Read more about it here.

Jannie needs to see if they can get more than toys and turkeys. How can one person muddle this up?

Exactly for whom is she scheduling the communications for at West Philadelphia High School? Is she trying to screw up the developers by finding reasons to kill the project? If that is do, the damage to our ability to attract more corporate businesses to relocate here will be very much damaged. Plus we cannot have a City Councilwoman getting four strikes at the plate instead of three strikes at the plate.
