In recent years, the Fort Washington Office Park has experienced a vacancy rate higher than that of other commercial/industrial parks in the region, due in some part to problems with flooding.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.planning.org/thenewplanner/nonmember/default1.htm |title=The New Planner: Drowning Office Park Rescued by Students During High Tide | access-date=2006-11-01 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20060714232619/http://www.planning.org/thenewplanner/nonmember/default1.htm |archive-date = 2006-07-14}} (Both links dead)</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/news/special_packages/flood06/15607939.htm?template=contentModules/printstory.jsp |title=Philadelphia Inquirer: Office park tests nature - again |access-date=2006-11-01 }}{{dead link|date=June 2016|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref> ====Former Fort Washington Expo Center==== The Fort Washington Office Park was also home to the Fort Washington Expo Center.
