About Africatown

Africatown is designed to become an economic development initiative to create jobs, for our youth, in Southwest Philadelphia, increase business ownership among the residents of the community and eliminate poverty in one of the most economically depressed communities in Philadelphia. To accomplish these objectives, Africatown, being developed in the community will become a "Tourist Destination Point " for the global African diaspora and other interested persons. Most of the infrastructure already exist in the southwest community, in which Africatown will be situated. Most important are the nearly 500 businesses owned by immigrants that live and work in the community. To accommodate the thousands of new visitors to southwest, additional infrastructure will be required, and several buildings will be proposed to attract businesses, tourist, and shoppers to patronize the many immigrant businesses on the commercial corridors in Africatown.

A delegation from the New York Office of the Jamaica Promotions Corporation (JAMPRO), the trade, investment, and promotion arm of the Government, visited Africatown in February 2022. The goal of the visit was to give the Jampro team a tour of Africatown, share more details about the project and discuss opportunities for Jampro to open a trade office at the African Center. This approach will give Jampro access to the African Diaspora at large while benefiting of Philadelphia’s strategic position to quickly reach major segments of the US market within few days.
