Beautifications

Enhancing commercial corridors with physical improvements throughout 2026 and beyond.

What we're doing

The Philadelphia Department of Commerce, in partnership with community stakeholders, will lead targeted enhancements across commercial corridors. These corridors will be selected in partnership with Philadelphia City Council district offices.

Each location will receive physical improvements to promote the growth of small businesses, enhance quality of life for residents, and incentivize new commercial development. Professional design experts work directly with community organizations to set priorities for each corridor and make investment recommendations.

Beautification projects may include :

  • Decorative banners promoting the neighborhood and semiquincentennial anniversary.
  • Custom-designed 250th commemorative benches.
  • Large, beautiful planters featuring seasonal installations.
  • Other streetscape improvements to create clean, safe and welcoming spaces for residents, visitors, and shoppers to enjoy.
