ng Father William Penn had his summer home in Vineyard Town (now Francisville) and planted a vineyard that stretched from Lemon Hill to the edges of what is now Francisville, Spring Garden and Fairmount. The Francisville Neighborhood Development Corporation, formerly known as the Concerned Residents of Francisville CDC, was founded in 2002 and incorporated in 2003 to address the serious state of decay of the residential and commercial fabric, to stimulate the community to be active in neighborhood growth and decision-making processes, and to disseminate information so that fear of change could be replaced with empowerment. The mission of the Francisville Neighborhood Development Corporation (FNDC) is to improve the quality of life in the Francisville community through Commercial and Residential Development; implement programs designed to develop youth, aid senior citizens, and generally invest in the people of Francisville. Our aim is to be a resource for information and communication, insuring that all residents can have an active role in the growth and development of their community. FNDC’s primary focus is the revitalization of the Ridge Avenue corridor to stabilize the community and provide increased employment, economic opportunities and amenities for residents.
