  • PDP's 2018 Annual Report
    1 You may notice just the slightest silver metallic sheen to this report and that is entirely by design. Twenty-five years ago, the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership was formed by business owners and community leaders who had a passion for Downtown. They loved this neighborhood and knew that it could become a dynamic destination for visitors, employers, workers, and developers alike. A place where people would want to live, where they would experience culture, art, sports and recreation, and appreciate amazing food and drink like nowhere else in Pittsburgh. A spot where a small business could grow and thrive, and where an innovative start-up could take root right next door to a Fortune 500 company. To ensure this vision came to fruition, these leaders established the PDP. Initially, our services were small, but important. We worked to ensure that Downtown was clean and safe, and we still do today. Just as the city has evolved, so has the PDP. We produce more programming than ever before, ensuring Downtown is vibrant and exciting not just during the regular work hours but on nights and weekends. We advocate for excellent transit options with safe and accessible routes for all and have expanded our work to look at the neighborhood around us and consider how we can provide the best, most beautiful and interesting experiences for everyone coming to Downtown. We continue to shout from the rooftop, not to mention every social media platform available, all of the news about Downtown! So, as we celebrate our Silver Anniversary, we decided not to spend too much time looking back.
