Initiatives


  • World Class Greater Philadelphia (69)

    World Class Greater Philadelphia is an initiative that convenes business, nonprofit, government, labor, and community leaders to establish a set of long-term priorities and focused strategies to better our region. Facilitated by the Economy League of Greater Philadelphia, this multi-year initiative strives to make the region a world class place to live, work, and play by 2026 -- the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

  • Greater Philadelphia Leadership Exchange (82)

    The Greater Philadelphia Leadership Exchange aims to develop leaders of business, nonprofit, and government organizations into regional visionaries dedicated to making Greater Philadelphia a world class region.

  • IssuesPA (7)

    IssuesPA.org has been the leading nonpartisan online resource on state-level issues and policies since 2002. Visit http://issuespa.org.

  • Budget Challenge (15)

    On March 23, 2009, the Economy League launched the interactive, web-based Philadelphia Budget Challenge to help residents think about their priorities for the city not in a vacuum, but in relation to real fiscal constraints and opportunities. Actual City Budget Office numbers for Fiscal Year 2009-10 allowed more than 3,000 citizens to wrestle with the trade-offs that the city administration faces in devising the City of Philadelphia's budget. We hope to obtain support to update the site in a future fiscal year.
