Culinary Enterprises Commercial Kitchen began as a TEC revitalization project and now boasts four state-of-the-art, shared-use commercial kitchens, an E-Kitchen Multimedia Learning Center, and three eateries open to the public.
Revitalization
Community revitalization projects are a cornerstone of The Enterprise Center Community Development Corporation (TEC-CDC)'s longstanding programmatic and built environment work in our West Philadelphia neighborhood. Since TEC-CDC's inception in 2003, we have provided business assistance to community businesses, with a special focus on the 52nd St. corridor, as well as capital projects such as Max Paul Park & Walnut Hill Community Farm, the Walnut Hill Community Playground, the Center for Culinary Enterprises, and the Resource Hub at 277 S. 52nd St., and we will continue to make additional programmatic and built environment investments in our focus areas of 48th and Spruce St., 52nd St., and 46th & Market St..
