What We Do

SRDC's goal is to revitalize the tidal Schuylkill River from the Fairmount Dam to the Delaware River, known as Schuylkill Banks. This includes creating unique and inviting riverfront parks and trails and hosting events to bring people down to Schuylkill Banks. SRDC is changing what was an abandoned, formerly industrial no-man's land into a beautiful space that brings people together to relax and enjoy nature. These improvements make Philadelphia a better place to be, encouraging new business and residential development along the riverfront. SRDC believes that people are drawn to beautiful riverfront spaces, and we are committed to making the most of the tidal Schuylkill!

Mission Statement: The Schuylkill River Development Corporation (SRDC) is a public-private partnership leading the development of Schuylkill Banks. With a proven track record in raising funds, promoting city assets, and collaborating with a broad and diverse constituency, SRDC works with federal, state, city and private agencies to coordinate, plan and implement economic, recreational, environmental and cultural improvements and tourism initiatives on the lower Schuylkill River between the Fairmount Dam and the Delaware River.
