The Philadelphia zoning board has voted to breathe new life into a decomposing, former-textile factory in Kensington, PlanPhilly reported on Nov. 25. If all goes as planned, the structure will become a 51-unit, mixed-use property called Orinoka Mills Civic House, named after the company that used to run the factory before it was shuttered.

The $16 million plan includes creating mixed-income rental apartments, some reserved for individuals making as low as $14,000 a year, as well as office space and a coffee shop.
