First Philadelphia Mayoral Forum Set for March

The Next Great City Coalition will host its first mayoral forum for the 2015 race in March in conjunction with the Philadelphia Flower Show.

Yesterday, Philadelphia’s Next Great City Coalition announced the first mayoral forum for the 2015 race. It’s being held on March 3 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in conjunction with the Philadelphia Flower Show. Hopefully, there will be a consensus reached on the hottest floral arrangements of 2015.

“As the convener of the Next Great City Coalition, PennFuture is excited to welcome our mayoral candidates to this quadrennial forum,” Katie Bartolotta, southeast Pennsylvania outreach coordinator for PennFuture, said in a statement. “To be truly great, Philadelphia needs a new mayor who will lead Philadelphia forward with Next Great City 2015’s key initiatives, and get us to the finish line on some key initiatives already underway.”

Dave Davies will moderate the forum.

The Next Great City Coalition is a group of more than 100 organizations in the city working together to improve Philadelphia. It was founded in 2007.
