Mayor Jim Kenney visits three rec centers Thursday on what was billed as a "first-ever Rebuild Philadelphia Groundbreaking Tour," kicking off over $20 million in projects moving into construction.
Mayor Kenney has touted the Rebuild program - funded by the tax on sweetened beverages - to improve parks, recreation centers, and libraries. He held three consecutive groundbreaking ceremonies at Heitzman Recreation Center in Harrowgate, Glavin Playground in Port Richmond, and the Olney Recreation Center in Olney to highlight the program’s impact.
