ADVISORY – Governor Shapiro to Announce Targeted State, Local, Private, and Philanthropic Investments to Catalyze Downtown Pittsburgh’s Revitalization Plan
Governor Josh Shapiro will visit Pittsburgh’s Cultural District to unveil a major collective effort with Pittsburgh leaders, nonprofits, and the local business community to make comprehensive investments that will improve Pittsburgh’s downtown area and turn the neighborhood into a thriving center for economic growth, culture, and industry.
The Shapiro Administration has mobilized a united group of local government officials, private sector leaders, and nonprofits committed to Pittsburgh’s success to make targeted investments into a 10-year strategy to revitalize the Golden Triangle. With significant financial backing from the Commonwealth, this plan will help the city of Pittsburgh create more residential housing, breathe new life into public spaces, and create a cleaner, safer, more vibrant neighborhood for residents and visitors.
