Marcus Hook Turns Bad News Into Boroughs Pride and Joy
Marcus Hook transformed a vacant FMC plant into a thriving community center after 1977 layoffs hit Sun Ship and local tax revenue. The nonprofit Marcus Hook Community Development Corp led the project with support from BP Sun Oil and CETA workers. The center now hosts two dozen tenants including a dental clinic, lawyers offices, and a pharmacy, with plans for future expansion and improvements.
