Testimonials

Citizens talk about ... GREAT EXPECTATIONS

“This project has been tremendous. This kind of project is too good to go away. It’s had a tremendous impact on me as a person and as a candidate and as a public official. It’s also had a tremendous impact on the public that somehow, someway, we could
actually start believing in ourselves again.”

PHILADELPHIA MAYOR MICHAEL NUTTER

“Moving resources and energy to leverage our assets takes vision and courage that no elected official can do alone. It takes citizens supporting candidates and positions that move in that direction. Thank you for helping to get this snowball rolling.”

PETE HOSKINS, CHAIR, PARKS ALLIANCE

“Great Expectations helped me – and an entire city – to focus on the issues and plans that will make a real difference to our future. Without exaggeration, I believe the Great Expectations project has given Philadelphia an outstanding mayor in Michael Nutter –
which I don’t believe would have happened otherwise.”

PHILADELPHIA CITY COUNCILMAN FRANK RIZZO

“At a critical time for the city and region, Great Expectations served as an incredibly effective and persuasive outlet for the public’s hopes and dreams.”
