Official:Authorizing the Commissioner of Public Property, on behalf of the City of Philadelphia, to convey to Philadelphia Authority for Industrial Development all or a portion of a parcel or parcels of land in and about the area bounded by Frankford Avenue, East Butler Street, Buckius Street and Haverford Avenue, for further conveyance, under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Squilla
Introduced: June 6, 2019
: Committee on Public Property and Public Works
Status: Lapsed
This bill was introduced in the 2016–2019 Council term and when that term ran out. The public record shows no committee vote and no floor vote at any stage, so no member of Council ever went on record for or against it.
That is not unusual here. Of the 8,465 bills introduced between 2000 and 2025, 1,624 lapsed without a single recorded vote. Ninety percent of bills that became law carry a roll call. Three percent of lapsed bills do. How this works.
This bill allows the City of Philadelphia to sell a portion of land in a specific area (bounded by Frankford Avenue, East Butler Street, Buckius Street and Haverford Avenue) to the Philadelphia Authority for Industrial Development. The sale is contingent on the developer agreeing to create an Economic Opportunity Plan. The City Solicitor will review and approve any documents related to the sale.
