The challenges of doing business in Philadelphia
Senzwa wants a more competitive city tax structure that enables and incentivizes local talent — like the ones he empowers through The Connect — to plant roots in Philadelphia and build a life here. He understands that to maintain the wealth of young professionals the city produces we must create an environment that supports them. By updating the city’s tax structure to become competitive for businesses, we can keep the talent grown in Philadelphia here to stay by providing them with the economic opportunities they deserve.
