City of PhiladelphiaView metadata for key information about this dataset. The Philadelphia Empowerment Zone is a community endowment that makes annual grants for economic development within certain geographic boundaries. Data includes commercial and industrial zones, i.e. areas with specific federal-granted special amenities (tax incentives, loans/grants) meant to attract and support businesses in blighted areas. Blighted areas are defined as meeting one of seven city mandated criteria, including unsafe, unsanitary and inadequate conditions; economically or socially undesirable land use; and faulty street and lot layout.
