Faith in Action @ 50 Minutes: Paul Levy, President and CEO of Center City District

This Sunday, October 2, Paul Levy, President and CEO of the Center City District, will be speaking at 50 Minutes. He'll also lead a discussion at 12:30.



As a champion of urban renewal and the redevelopment of Center City, Mr. Levy will reflect on what has been achieved in this neighborhood and throughout downtown in the last 50 years and what challenges and opportunities are before us in the coming decade.

Mr. Levy is the founding chief executive of Philadelphia’s Center City District, serving in this capacity since January 1991. He directs the $18.7 million downtown management district, which provides security, hospitality, cleaning, place marketing, promotion, and planning services for the central business district of Philadelphia.

+ What role do you envision St. Peter's playing in Center City as the neighborhood continues to grow and change?  What's our mission in Center City, if any?

+  What challenges does the city face, and how might we meet those challenges?
