PIDC had the pleasure of attending the groundbreaking of SEAMAAC's new headquarters here on Snyder Avenue. With this new facility, SEAMAAC will nearly double its service capacity and continue strengthening the surrounding neighborhood, including the nearby 7th Street commercial corridor. PIDC is proud to support a project that not only expands access to essential services, but also creates quality jobs. This project will create new employment opportunities that provide living wages and benefits—with 50% of positions accessible without a college degree. We’re excited to see this project come to life and look forward to returning for the ribbon-cutting! #economicdevelopment #southphilly @seamaac

For National Small Business Week, we’re spotlighting the power of legacy, community, and Black-owned media. PIDC sat down with @saramlomax to hear the story behind @onwurd WURD RADIO, the impact it has had on Philadelphia’s Black community, and what’s next to come for the station’s future. As the only African American owned and operated talk radio station in Pennsylvania and one of the few remaining in the country, WURD has grown into a multi-platform media source connecting communities through radio, digital media, social platforms, and events. PIDC is proud to support the continued success of businesses and organizations that create lasting impact across our city. #nationalsmallbusinessweek #WURDRadio #BlackOwnedBusiness #SupportBlackBusiness #EconomicDevelopment

Where coffee, calm, and community bloom, you’ll find @vaultandvine.co . Founded in 2017 in East Falls, Philadelphia, Vault + Vine is more than a café and curated retail space — it’s a welcoming third place where people gather, slow down, and connect. Sisters Diana Baye and Breana Pettiford have made it their mission to ensure everyone who walks through their doors feels seen and welcomed. PIDC supported previous owner Peicha Chang with financing to complete the fit-out of the current location before selling in 2022. We spoke with current owners Diana and Breana about their vision behind Vault + Vine, the journey of building a beloved community space, and what continued success looks like for this values-driven small business. In celebration of National Small Business Week, get to know the story behind Vault + Vine and the women cultivating community in Philadelphia. #supportsmall #smallbusinessweek #economicdevelopment #plants #philly

Small businesses are the heart of Philadelphia—and this week, we’re raising a glass to the people behind them. In celebration of #NationalSmallBusinessWeek, we’re spotlighting @triplebottombrewing , a purpose-driven brewery proving that business can be a force for good. Built on a “triple bottom line” of people, planet, and profit, Triple Bottom is creating quality jobs, supporting workforce development, and investing back into the community—all while crafting great beer. At PIDC, we’re proud to support small businesses like Triple Bottom that are growing Philadelphia’s economy in thoughtful ways that benefit all.
