Tookany/Tacony-Frankford Watershed Partnership Relocated to Globe Dye Works

The Tookany/Tacony-Frankford Watershed Partnership is moving! Their new home will be the recently renovated Globe Dye Works at 4500 Worth Street in Northeast Philadelphia. What was once a yarn factory situated on the Little Tacony Creek, has become a home to artists, artisans and fabricators. After 140 years of service, the yarn factory closed its doors in 2005, only to become a new working space for Philadelphia’s creative community. The vision of Globe Dye Works includes a green roof and another potential building restoration. The move will allow TTF to be housed within walking distance of the Tookany/Tacony-Frankford Creek. We’re excited to see what this new complex will foster within the TTF! TTF’s mission is to enhance the health and vitality of the Tookany/Tacony-Frankford Creek and its watershed. They initiate and support efforts to restore the health of the watershed, and to mobilize communities as watershed stewards through community outreach, networking, educational programs, and project coordination and implementation. We wish the TTF Watershed Partnership the best of luck in their move and newfound home!
