As part of a larger greening project with The Nature Conservancy and funded by the Philadelphia Water Department, FRP will install green infrastructure to manage the stormwater at the project sites. Additional phases of the masterplan seek to expand affordable housing to the surrounding sites, benefiting from the thousands of green acres of West Fairmount Park, Belmont ‘s commercial corridor and Drexel University’s campus.
