Nutter In Talks With ‘Occupy Philly’ For Cooperative Relocation

The “Occupy Philadelphia” tent city at Dilworth Plaza, near 15th and Market Streets, last month.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - The Nutter administration is continuing negotiations with the “Occupy Philadelphia” protesters encamped near City Hall, trying to convince them to move before a renovation of Dilworth Plaza begins.

Mayor Nutter himself met privately Sunday with a group of the protesters about the current conditions at the encampment and about the need to relocate later this month when the plaza makeover begins.

“They have been open, they have been respectful, they have been responsive, and I want to keep that kind of engagement going between the city government and Occupy Philly,” the mayor told KYW Newsradio this morning.
