Philadelphia Inquirer headline on White House designation of Mantua neighborhood as one of first 5 promise zones.
Pending Congressional approval of tax credits to organizations investing in qualifying projects within the zone, the designation of Mantua neighborhood of West Philadelphia a ‘Promise Zone’ means only that a) it’s an area in need of economic revitalization and b) some existing partnerships and programs within the zone demonstrate substantial networking and development within the organizing/development modes targeted for support in the Promise Zone program. Five Americorps VISTA volunteers will be assigned to help promote and interconnect what’s already happening here. Federal program representatives may swing through to assist folks here in identifying and obtaining grants.
