Congressman Fattah Commends Philadelphia Leaders for Two Bold Steps

“I want to commend the public and private leadership of Philadelphia for two forward- looking efforts this week that well represent the future of our city.

“On Tuesday, the Philadelphia 2016 Working Group put forward a compelling and well-planned presentation to the U.S. Olympic Committee to bring the 2016 Summer Games to Philadelphia. On Thursday, City Council unanimously approved the nation’s first citywide high-speed wireless Internet connection.

“These two separate initiatives share a positive, can-do approach and show what Philadelphians can accomplish with dedicated leaders on every level.”
