  • 2013 River Towns Report
    When the Pennsylvania Environmental Council (PEC) first launched the River Town Program in 2010, its goal was to help communities to recognize the river as an asset around which potential community and economic development could background occur, and thus be recognized as a resource worthy of protection. For PEC, this program has evolved into a model for PEC originally launched the River Town Program along the Allegheny River just north of Pittsburgh as a pilot to apply implementing collaborative solutions to environmental protection and restoration, by recognizing the inextricable links the strategies used successfully in previous asset-based community development initiatives in river towns. Models between the environment, the economy and quality of life. included the trail town initiatives along the Great Allegheny Passage and the C&O Canal Towpath, traditional Main Street Programs and others. This report describes the River Town process and highlights the successes of many of the communities who have participated in the program. The successes described are the work of many partners and the credit for all achievements “River Towns,” the communities bordering rivers throughout Pennsylvania, were founded as manufacturing centers belongs to the communities themselves. close to river and rail transportation. With the decline of manufacturing, these communities suffered both job loss and population decline as generations that once prospered working in industries next to the river were forced to leave to find jobs elsewhere. The River Town model seeks to improve the vitality, stability, sustainability and prosperity of communities, businesses and neighborhoods. This is the foundation upon which related economic development, including recreational tourism and environmental initiatives, such as stormwater management, trail development and clean energy projects are built.

  • Allegheny's Riverfronts
    ALLEGHENY’S RIVERFRONTS A Progress Report on Municipal Riverfront Development in Allegheny County DECEMBER 2010 Allegheny County Allegheny’s Riverfronts Dear Friends: In Allegheny County, we are known for our rivers. In fact, our rivers have repeatedly been in the national spotlight – during the Forrest L. Wood Cup and Pittsburgh G-20 Summit in 2009, and during World Environment Day in 2010. We are fortunate to have more than 185 miles of riverfront property along the Allegheny, Monongahela, Ohio and Youghiogheny Rivers. Our riverfronts provide opportunities for recreation, conservation and economic development. Providing access to our waterways has always been a key priority and we have been very successful in connecting communities through our trail and greenway system. Through partnerships with businesses, foundations and trail groups, we are on target to complete the Great Allegheny Passage along the Monongahela River before the end of 2011. This trail has been improving the economy and quality of life in towns throughout the Laurel Highlands and Southwestern Pennsylvania, and now its benefits will spread north through the Mon Valley and into the City of Pittsburgh. Our riverfronts provide opportunities for greening our region through the use of new trees, rain gardens and riverside vegetation that aid in flood control, improved water quality and a more natural experience. Allegheny County riverfronts have also always been great places to live. More people will be able to experience riverfront living with the development of communities such as Edgewater at Oakmont, which promises to be one of the best new neighborhoods in the region. I am so proud of all that we have accomplished along our riverfronts and excited about all that is yet to come.
