Good News from Campus Philly!

The Philadelphia Business Journal today reported that Campus Philly, a nonprofit which wants to sell students on Philadelphia so that they stay in the region to work and start their own businesses, just received a $300,000 grant to launch an online marketing campaign aimed at getting students at area colleges and universities to remain in the region after they graduate.

I really believe that a healthy real estate market is inextricably linked to new jobs. If we can start derailing the brain drain trend in Philly, and students stay in the region and start their own businesses and create new jobs, the real estate market will ultimately benefit.
