On Thursday, January 19, Philadelphia City Council approved a resolution introduced by Councilmember-at-large David Oh. Resolution 221042 is titled 'Adopting the Philadelphia Music Industry Task Force Report and Recommendations issued by Council's Global Opportunities and Creative/Innovative Economy.'

The Music Industry Task Force was formed in 2017. The task force created a report of 10 recommended actions that were adopted as part of this resolution. The first action will be to create a permanent Philadelphia Music Industry Office. The other actions seek to help promote Philadelphia as a music city and support current musicians and the scene as a whole. See the list of actions below and follow the links to read the full music industry task force report.
