In 2012, the Pittsburgh Regional Alliance completed 42 economic de- velopment deals (or “wins”) representing almost $500 million in capital investment and a total job impact of 3,731. And the region was recognized for the third best performance in the nation for new expansion projects. Yet much work remains. Topping our list is sufficient state investment in trans- portation infrastructure and transit to maintain our region’s competitiveness. We must continue to pursue reform on binding arbitration, business taxes and public employee pensions. We must work to expand site development, nonstop airline flights and other measures that will enhance our economic competitive- ness. And we must educate, train and attract enough skilled workers to fill jobs being created and jobs opening due to attrition. Please join with me in redoubling our efforts to further strengthen and grow our region.

2 | ALLEGHENY CONFERENCE ON COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT | 2012 ANNUAL REPORT | 3 Pittsburgh Region Has Strength in Numbers: Sectors, Partners, Investment Deals

There is strength in numbers in the Pittsburgh region when it comes to business investment. Five diverse industry sectors are pillars of its economy – generating employment, attracting investment and contributing to the gross regional product. Some sectors’ per- formances may falter during turbulent economic times, while others excel. The overall effect is balance and stability. Additionally, the region has hundreds of partners at allied organizations across 10 counties. Fifty of these compose the Pitts- burgh Regional Alliance (PRA) Partnership – professionals and leaders from the public and private sectors who work together to create a climate that’s competitive for business investment, and to generate leads and secure deals. The PRA’s 42 regional economic development deals or “wins” of 2012 provide tangible evidence of strength. They represent millions of dollars invested in building up the region’s business landscape with bricks and mortar for facilities of all sorts and sizes, as well as creating and maintaining jobs.

Three decades later, the region has transformed itself into a diverse, stable economy fueled by knowledge, technology and innovation, with the largest workforce in its history. Part of that makeover included strategic in- vestment in arts and culture and outdoor recreation. The Allegheny Conference and its affiliates – in partnership with VisitPittsburgh, Vibrant Pittsburgh and others – will celebrate our 30-year transformation story throughout the year through such events as the dedication of the iconic fountain in Point State Park and the soon-to-be-completed biking and hiking trail that links Pittsburgh to Washington, D.C.

It consists of more than 100 organizations representing the region’s seven energy-related industries – coal, natural gas, nuclear, solar, wind, transmission and distribution, and intelligent building – as well as their supply chain. Since 2009 the Energy Alliance has worked to increase the scale of this sector and encourage investment to create jobs. Through the leadership of the Greater Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce, many of these organizations have joined the “Friends of NETL” coalition. They are supporting the mission of the National Energy Technology Laboratory, the nation’s foremost center for fossil fuel-related research.
