Old City District Details
MissionOld City District's mission is to improve Philadelphia's historic district as a place for people to meet, work, shop and live, by supplementing municipal services with maintenance, public safety, economic development and promotional programs. Old City District (OCD) was established by ordinance of Philadelphia City Council in 1998, with the support of the commercial property owners within its boundaries, and in accordance with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's Municipality Authorities Act of 1945, 53 Pa. C.S. § 5601 et seq. In November, 2002, the City of Philadelphia authorized a 20-year extension, through the year 2022.OCD supplements, rather than replaces, the services of the municipal government -- helping businesses be successful, visitors to enjoy their experience here and residents to maintain a high quality of life.Neighborhood CharacterOld City is home to an incomparable set of U.S. historical assets.
