Healing Land & Repairing Harm: A Summit on Philly’s Refinery Redevelopment

Join us for Healing the Land and Repairing Harm: A Summit on Philly’s Refinery Redevelopment, an engaging, joyful learning experience & dialogue about how the former PES oil refinery land should be put to new use.

The summit will unite diverse stakeholders — bringing together residents, elected officials, environmental regulators, city planners, professors, local business owners, and more — around the largest redevelopment in Philly’s history.
