Beech Interplex, Inc. broke ground

Friday on a new student-housing de-

velopment at 16th & Cecil B. Moore

Avenue that, when complete, will

house international students, visiting

scholars and researchers from Temple

University. Beech International Apart-

ments at Temple University will con-

tain 100 apartment units and will

feature a café, conference space and

other retail shops. Development will

create more than 200 construction jobs

and 50 permanent jobs.

This project follows the model of In-

ternational House near the University

of Pennsylvania. Its launch is a token

of Temple’s evolving position as a

university of international scope.

Beech Interplex is a major developer

of off-campus projects in the Temple

area of North Philadelphia.

Kitchen To Host HousingAuthorities Hearing

The public is invited to attend

an upcoming Senate Urban

Affairs & Housing Commit-

tee public hearing about housing au-

thorities in the commonwealth,

according to State Sen. Shirley

Kitchen, chairwoman of the commit-

tee.

The hearing, hosted by Kitchen and

Sen. Gene Yaw, the committee’s chair-

man, will take place at 9 a.m. on

Thursday, Oct. 14 in Hearing Room 1

of the North Office Building at the

Capitol Complex, 401 North Street in

Harrisburg.

“The hearing will help the committee

determine how housing authorities in

Pennsylvania function in the areas of

assignment of contracts, appointments

and general oversight,” Kitchen said.

“We look forward to hearing from

various housing authorities in the

state.”

Several housing authorities across the

commonwealth, the US Dept. of

Housing & Urban Development, the

Philadelphia Housing Authority

Board’s Chairman John F. Street and

an oversight agency have been invited

to testify.

According to an article in the Pitts-

burgh Tribune Revenue, more than

$2.6 million in political ads have

aired since the unofficial Labor Day

kickoff for the Nov. 2 election, ac-

cording to an analysis of public

records from six networks and Com-

cast, the region’s largest cable

provider. Ads that benefit Democ-

rats account for just under $1.2 mil-

lion, compared to just under $1.4

million in ads that have benefited

Republicans. Some — such as

Americans for Job Security and

Americans for Prosperity, which

have spent about $136,000 each —

aren’t required to disclose the

sources of their money.

For a Philadelphia School

District student to make it

through high school and

then earn a bachelor’s or associ-

ate’s degree is a rarity.

That’s the report from Dale Mez-

zacappa of the Public School Note-

book, a periodical that covers the

School District.

“Just one out of 10 students who

entered a Philadelphia public high

school in 1999 had earned a two-or

four-year college degree 10 years

later, according to recently re-

leased data compiled by School

District researchers,” Mezzacappa

wrote.

“’The city’s never before had a

pipeline and known how many

kids make it through each phase of

their education,’ said Lori Shorr,

the head of Mayor Nutter’s educa-

tion office, who publicly presented

the degree-attainment data for the

first time earlier this month. “The

significance [of this number] is we

all know where we’re starting. Un-

fortunately, we’re not starting at a

great place.”

Mezzacappa noted, however, that

Philadelphia is not alone, saying,

“It tracks studies done in other big

cities where most public-school

students are Black, Latino and

low-income.”

More than 60 mayors,

chief information offi-

cers, and other govern-

ment and nonprofit representatives

from across the United States gath-

ered this morning for the Mayors’

Technology Summit, hosted by

Mayor Michael A. Nutter, Temple

University’s Fox School of Busi-

ness and its Center for Competitive

Government.

The two-day Summit, The Digital

City, will provide a forum for gov-

ernment officials, industry execu-

tives and academics to focus on the

role of technology in promoting

government efficiency, trans-

parency, economic development

and quality of life.

Mayors and chief information of-

ficers from across the region – and

as far as Phoenix and Seattle – are

gathering here for the first Mayors’

Technology Summit to be held in

Philadelphia.

Secretary of Revenue C.

Daniel Hassell announced

Pennsylvania collected $2.3

billion in General Fund revenue in

September, which was $69.8 mil-

lion, or 3.1%, more than anticipated.

Fiscal year-to-date General Fund

collections total $5.8 billion, which

is $75.8 million, or 1.3%, above es-

timate. Maybe the casinos are pay-

ing off for the State, if not the

The Delaware River Port

Authority will join State

and local police depart-

ments in New Jersey for “Put the

Brakes on Fatalities Day” Oct. 10.

This national initiative is designed

to unite the country in moving to-

ward zero fatalities for one full

day by encouraging safe driving

behavior.

“As a regional transportation

agency and member of the com-

munity, DRPA has a vested interest

in the safety of drivers,” said John

J. Matheussen, CEO of DRPA and

president of PATCO. “Whether it

be driving on any one of DRPA’s

four bridges or other roadways, if

we all make a concerted effort to

drive defensively, obey posted

speed limits and buckle up, we can

make a difference and reduce the

number of motor vehicle fatali-

ties.”

In support of “Put the Brakes on

Fatalities Day,” DRPA will do its

part to remind the public to be

more careful while driving. Vari-

able message signs with the mes-

sage, “Oct. 10 Be Safe, Be Alert,

Drive to Arrive,” will be in place

at the Benjamin Franklin, Walt

Whitman, Commodore Barry and

Betsy Ross bridges.
