Rebirth of the Mayfair
Community Development Corporation (CDC)
Thanks, in part, to Allegheny Iron and
Metal Corporation.
Specifics of this partnership to be announced at the Mayfair
Farmers Market on
Sunday, April 21, 2013 at Cottman and Frankford Aves. at 9AM
Philadelphia, PA, April 3, 2013 – The Mayfair
Community Development Corporation (hereinafter “Mayfair CDC”) is excited to
announce its new partnership with Allegheny Iron and Metal Corporation (hereinafter
“Allegheny”) which will help facilitate the rebirth of the Mayfair CDC. This rebirth has been made possible via a
program from the City of Philadelphia, of which the Mayfair CDC was one of five
selected, with thanks to Jim Flaherty and Karen Fegely, (hereinafter “the
City”) whereby the City chooses a partnership between a community development
corporation (hereinafter “cdc”) and an area business which allows the business
to send the cdc $85,000, of its Business Income and Receipts Tax, a year for a
ten year period and allows that corporation to send a voucher to the City to
satisfy its tax obligation. The Mayfair
CDC has a long storied history of commitment to its community; unfortunately due
to the economic downturn and other financial intangibles, the Mayfair CDC has
been unable to live up to its name as a “community development corporation” for
quite some time; nevertheless that is all about to change due to the commitment
of the Leadership of Allegheny and its President Charles Dolaway.
Allegheny Iron
and Metal Corporation is a lower Northeast Philadelphia Corporation that was
founded in 1911, which focuses on scrap and recycling, and represents the hard
work and blue collar nature that is synonymous with the people of Mayfair;
their leadership had the foresight to see that community involvement is key to
business development and are happy to stand shoulder to shoulder with the
leadership of the Mayfair CDC. Bill
McKeown, Allegheny Sales Manager, states, “We have heard about the great work
of the Mayfair CDC for quite some time and are extremely happy to assist in the
rebirth of this great organization. Tom
Forkin, who serves as Vice-Chair of the Mayfair CDC stated, “Because of
businesses like Allegheny, neighborhoods like ours have a chance to thrive; any
type of business that has the staying power like Allegheny knows their way
around the block and we are proud to have them as a partner. What is interesting here is that we are
discussing a rebirth and such rebirth has been made possible by a recycling
corporation.”
This partnership has given the
Mayfair CDC the ability to expand its operations. Mayfair CDC Chairman, Joe DeFelice, believes
“Our CDC was experiencing a bit of a ‘wind down’; grants were about to close,
funds had dried up, a lawsuit, from which we were rightly dismissed, hanged
over our heads; however this partnership has given us new life.” Some new items on the docket for this year
are to reorganize the staff by eliminating the Executive Director position and
replacing it with a Program Director/Office Manager and a Corridor Manager
while retaining our Cleansweep Manager. Along with the reorganization, the
Mayfair CDC will also shift its focus to more commercial oriented programs, by
working with the Mayfair Business Association on such ideas as the development
of a Frankford Avenue Business Improvement District (BID), increasing the
amount of festivals and markets, and increasing the amount of foot traffic
along Frankford Avenue while seeking new money in the form of grants. The Mayfair CDC will, nevertheless, maintain
its footing in the residential arena through its Conservatorship program, which
rehabs blighted homes, while also working closely with the Mayfair Civic
Association and Townwatch and our local elected officials. Thanks to the progressive thinking and
generosity of Allegheny, the Mayfair CDC will continue to make Mayfair a great
place to live, work and play.
