Program Planning

The City of Philadelphia Parks & Recreation Department hired Jones Payne to conduct a 3-part feasibility study at Fort Mifflin, a Revolutionary War National Landmark Property located adjacent to Philadelphia International Airport.

To accomplish these goals, Jones Payne provided a range of services to include an existing conditions survey, acoustical testing, treatment recommendations, and cost estimates.
