Our Vision

The North Broad Renaissance has 2020 Vision! By the year 2020, along with our stakeholders, the NBR is looking to reestablish North Broad as the “Workshop of the World,” with amazing infrastructures, businesses, arts and culture and a thriving community.

Our Purpose

The North Broad Renaissance is a non-profit that will serve as a Special Service District (SSD) who’s primary role is to provide communication and information to city administrators and Council, neighborhood and community groups and others who are (or may) do business or development or other activities on North Broad, from City Hall to Germantown Avenue. In partnership with community stakeholders, we are looking to revitalize the community, create opportunity, and improve the economic power and overall quality of life along one of Philadelphia’s most prominent corridors - North Broad Street. Top priorities include clean and safe corridors, maintenance and landscaping, marketing and communications and street lighting.

Our Impact

According to research, if they work well, neighborhood commercial corridors make an important contribution to community quality-of-life, especially in pedestrian and transit-dependent lower-income neighborhoods. As North Broad Street becomes a key area of development and revitalization, it’s critical that, collectively, we serve as partners where current and future stakeholders benefit from this revitalization. It’s no secret that this process can be challenging and can have its share of successes and failures, but we look forward to working with the community as we hold each other accountable for accomplishing this goal.

Our Partners

North Broad stakeholders consist of any organization, resident, non-profit, church, etc., that is located on North Broad Street, from City Hall to Germantown Avenue. If you fall within this description, we strongly encourage you to get involved and become engaged. Simply email info@northbroad.org, identify yourself as a North Broad stakeholder and we will take it from there! Not a North Broad stakeholder? We still want you engaged.
