It was another high-impact year for the PIDC team!  We continued to focus on our strategic priorities, including our leadership role in Philadelphia’s inclusive and equitable economic recovery from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. With a strong foundation and 64-year track record, last year, PIDC identified the need to build upon the organization’s recent Strategic Framework and develop a Theory of Change. We highlighted stories from our diverse partners and clients. Plus, we hosted various Business Builder Workshops in English and Spanish to support the growth and resilience of Philadelphia’s businesses during this time of economic recovery.
