About the Task Force

In February 2009, Mayor Michael A. Nutter signed Executive Order No. 3-09, creating the Mayor's Task Force on Tax Policy and Economic Competitiveness.  

The Task Force is charged with evaluating Philadelphia's real estate development environment and its tax policy and structure; and how they compare to competitor cities and neighboring jurisdictions.  

The group is tasked with providing recommendations and accompanying legislation by September 2009.
