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 per-
manent 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 bache-
lor’s or associate’s degree is a rarity.
That’s the report from Dale Mezza-
cappa of the Public School Notebook,
a periodical that covers the School
District.
“Just one out of 10 students who en-
tered a Philadelphia public high
school in 1999 had earned a two-or
four-year college degree 10 years
later, according to recently released
data compiled by School District re-
searchers,” 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 education office,
who publicly presented the degree-
attainment data for the first time ear-
lier this month. “The significance [of
this number] is we all know where
we’re starting. Unfortunately, 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 officers, and
other government and
nonprofit representatives from across
the United States gathered this morn-
ing for the Mayors’ Technology Sum-
mit, hosted by Mayor Michael A.
Nutter, Temple University’s Fox School
of Business and its Center for Com-
petitive Government.
The two-day Summit, The Digital City,
will provide a forum for government
officials, industry executives and aca-
demics to focus on the role of tech-
nology in promoting government
efficiency, transparency, economic de-
velopment and quality of life.
Mayors and chief information officers
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
players.

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.
