Who We Are

The Central Delaware Advocacy Group is a volunteer based, 501(c)3 nonprofit organization composed of a coalition of civic and nonprofit organizations. CDAG is committed to advancing implementation of Philadelphia’s Civic Vision for the Central Delaware, using the Action Plan for the Central Delaware as a ten-year strategy to achieve a world-class riverfront.

CDAG works with other stakeholders for waterfront development that ensures public access to the river, builds on economic assets and connects the city to the river. Our board represents both residents and businesses that inhabit the 7-mile Central Delaware riverfront area from Allegheny Avenue to Oregon Avenue, and citizens of the larger region. This powerful civic voice is informed and amplified by the professional expertise of our dedicated nonprofit partners.

Riverfront Overlay Stands until New Overlay or New Zoning Code Takes Effect

Central Delaware Waterfront

The current overlay expires only when the new zoning code takes effect on 8/22/2012, or should a new overlay be passed under the current zoning code. Until then, the current overlay remains in force,” according to PCPC Executive Director Gary Jastrzab. Councilman Mark Squilla told the CDAG board, “There are questions and concerns from the administration and from other people about how this overlay will effect development of the waterfront.” Squilla sees a need to incorporate the trail the whole way through the seven mile stretch. But we might have to try to come up with different ways to make that happen,” he said.
