One of the city\u2019s newest green projects is Lardner\u2019s Point in Tacony, near the Delaware River, a decrepit site invaded by weeds and asphalt that will be converted into a riverfront park.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/synd.yardi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2011\/11\/LPP-Plans-w-legend_crop2-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-25708\" src=\"https:\/\/synd.yardi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2011\/11\/LPP-Plans-w-legend_crop2-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"197\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">According to <em>PlanPhilly.com<\/em>, the project kicked off on November 21 with a groundbreaking ceremony. Baltimore-based architecture firm Biohabitats created the design for this $1.5 million development. Reportedly, half of the funds come from the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, and the rest was offered by the National Oceanic and Athmospheric Administration and the National Wildlife Fund. Once completed, the 4.5- acre park is expected to reconnect the surrounding communities to the waterfront area.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Earlier this year the property\u2019s zoning designation was changed from C-3 commercial to recreational in order to avoid any unwanted land development and restore the river\u2019s edge to a natural state. In order to achieve that, all concrete structures and asphalt paving will be removed from the site to make room for a new fishing pier. Other amenities include a drinking fountain and walking trails, as well as park furniture and infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Illustration courtesy of\u00a0Delaware River City Corp<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Veronica Grecu, Associate Editor<br \/>\nIn recent years, Philadelphia has become a model for its commitment to green initiatives and sustainable infrastructures.
