CCRA
is going online for our debate between PA State Sen. Larry Farnese and
Challenger Nikil Saval, since getting together IRL isn't going to
happen. Stay tuned for technical details. Audience questions have been
an important part of CCRA-sponsored debates. Please email your
questions to centercity@centercityresidents.org,
with "debate question" in the subject line. Just like IRL debates,
questions will be prioritized because there won't be time for all of
them.

Update on CCRA and Covid-19
It has been reported that earlier this
week, the Wework Corp., where CCRA has its office, received notice that
an employee at one of the business spaces tested positive for the
coronavirus. The last time the employee was in the office was March
11. Until further notice, the building, located at 1900 Market St, is
closed as Wework does a thorough cleaning and disinfecting. No date has
been set to reopen.
CCRA
is operating with very limited services - which includes processing
memberships. If you mailed your membership dues, it will not be
processed until the office reopens. If you would like to speak with
Travis Oliver please email him at centercity@centercityresidents.org.
SEPTA Services
As of today, SEPTA will be operating on a Saturday schedule, 7 days a week until further notice.
Stay Safe!

Earlier this week, we sent this survey to our members regarding your opinions about the issues that concern us all.
Your opinion is very
important to us and will help guide us in prioritizing the issues and
concerns of most importance to our center city community. All responses
will be anonymous and confidential.
Please complete the survey by March 20, 2020.
If you have already taken the survey, thank you.
