More on the Greater Philadelphia Innovation Cluster

If you are a regular reader of this blog, then you have probably already seen a few posts from me regarding Philadelphia’s newest green, job creating plan: the Greater Philadelphia Innovation Cluster (GPIC). With a little help from the Department of Energy, “little” referring to $129M in grant money, the Navy Yard in Philadelphia could grow to be one of the world’s leaders in building energy efficiency.
If you missed my past posts, please read the first and second ones before you move on to the latest article. They will help familiarize yourself with the project as a whole.
Have a great holiday weekend, everyone!

Old Tastykake Factory to Become New Shopping Center

Now that Tastykake has moved their baking facility to the Navy Yard, their old factory site (located in the East Falls/Hunting Park West section of Philadelphia) will now become home to a brand new, 71,000 sq ft ShopRite.

ShopRite will be the anchor of a 220,000 sq ft shopping center which broke ground on 3/21. More details to come on the surrounding retail spots.
