Kristin Bray, the mayor’s chief legal counsel and director of Philly Stat 360, said the initiative’s mission is “to ensure transparency and accountability at every step in the process.”
“This is about making the work Mayor Parker's administration is doing in Kensington visible and understandable to everyone … allowing the public to see how resources are being used and track progress we have made thus far,” Bray said.
The data featured on the dashboard is sourced from various city departments and agencies involved in the Kensington Community Revival initiative, according to Philly Stat 360 website.
