Eva Gladstein Approved as ZCC Director

12/10/2008 | 

ZCC REGULAR SESSION 

Currently Director of Special Projects for the Philadelphia Commerce Department, Eva Gladstein will make the transition to the ZCC starting January 5. “I’ve spent a lot of years working in Philly trying to improve the city and its neighborhoods, and yet I don’t think I’ve ever had an opportunity as great as this one,” Gladstein said. “We can really help change the face of the city, its communities, and as importantly, the development processes.”

Eva Gladstein has more than 25 years experience promoting community revitalization and implementing economic development projects. She is the co-founder of the Tenants’ Action Group of Philadelphia and former director of the Pennsylvania Low-Income Housing Coalition. She joined the city in 1998 to run the American Street Empowerment Zone and became the director of the Neighborhood Transformation Initiative in 2005. NTI activities were absorbed by the Commerce Department earlier this year. As director of the ZCC, Ms. Gladstein will work closely with the Philadelphia City Planning Commission to ensure on-going planning efforts inform the zoning code reform process. The director’s office will be located at the PCPC, where current staff can assist Gladstein as well.
