About this event

 

From Refinery to Renaissance
Building a Connected, Sustainable Future at the Bellwether District

 

The Bellwether District is transforming a former oil refinery into a 1300-acre state-of-the-art e-commerce, life science, and logistics campus serving both industrial and innovation development functions. The project is committed to bringing economic development to its surrounding community and the region at large, while focusing on environmental sustainability and a connected transportation network.

Join WTS Philadelphia for networking, lunch, and a panel discussion that highlights this major redevelopment project in South Philadelphia which, aligned with broader transportation investments, will enhance connectivity and accessibility.

Hear from Philadelphia Streets Department, SEPTA, and developer HRP about how the Bellwether District will address logistics and access for a variety of modes, and how these and other related transportation improvements will become the backbone to a modern commerce hub in Philadelphia’s near future.
