  • ALLEGHENY COUNTY As of Friday, May 15, the Following Fine Wine
    As of Friday, May 15, the following Fine Wine & Good Spirits, in counties designated in the yellow phase of COVID-19 mitigation efforts, will reopen to limited in-store public access. The following mitigation efforts will be in place: • Stores will limit the number of customers in a store at a given time, allowing no more than 25 people (employees and customers), and further restricting the number of customers in smaller stores. • The first hour each store is open each day will be reserved for customers at high risk for COVID-19, including those 65 years of age and older. Voluntary compliance from all customers is encouraged in the interest of protecting the health and safety of our most vulnerable community members. • Customers and employees will be required to wear masks and practice social distancing, guided by signage throughout the stores. • Signage will also direct customers to follow one-way patterns to avoid cross-traffic and encourage them to refrain from touching products unless they intend to buy them. • Store employees will perform enhanced and frequent cleaning and disinfecting, and store hours will be modified to ensure appropriate time for cleaning and restocking. Prior to opening to the public, each location was professionally sanitized, and plexiglass was installed at registers to provide a physical barrier between employees and customers at checkout. All Fine Wine & Good Spirits employees are being provided masks, gloves and frequent opportunities to wash hands. Each store reopening to limited public access will continue offering curbside pickup to the best of its staff’s ability. All sales are final.

  • 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.

  • 2019 State of Downtown Pittsburgh
    20 STATE OF DOWNTOWN PITTSBURGH19 TABLE OF CONTENTS For the past eight years, the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership has been pleased to produce the State of Downtown Pittsburgh Report. This annual compilation and data analysis allows us to benchmark our progress, both year over year and in comparison to peer cities. In this year’s report, several significant trends came to light helping us identify unmet needs and better understand opportunities for developing programs and initiatives in direct response to those challenges. Although improvements to the built environment are evident in nearly every corridor of the Golden Triangle, significant resources are also being channeled into office property interiors to meet the demands of 21st century companies and attract a talented workforce to Pittsburgh’s urban core. More than $300M has been invested in Downtown’s commercial office stock over the 4 ACCOLADES AND BY THE NUMBERS last five years – a successful strategy drawing new tenants to Downtown and ensuring that our iconic buildings will continue to accommodate expanding businesses and emerging start-ups. OFFICE, EMPLOYMENT AND EDUCATION Downtown experienced a 31% growth in residential population over the last ten years, a trend that will continue with the opening 6 of hundreds of new units over the next couple of years. Businesses, from small boutiques to Fortune 500 companies, continued to invest in the Golden Triangle in 2018 while Downtown welcomed a record number of visitors and new residents. HOUSING AND POPULATION 12 Development in Downtown is evolving and all of these investments combine to drive the economic vitality of the city, making Downtown’s thriving renaissance even more robust.

We believe that Pittsburgh’s future is built upon strong neighborhoods and the good work happening on the ground.

We share this story with you to inspire action and celebrate progress, and most importantly, to empower leaders and residents in other communities to actively ˙ shape the future of their neighborhoods. — Presley L. Gillespie President, Neighborhood Allies Neighborhood Strategy Guide || 1 innovative project report: From concept to consensus Upwards of 600 people braved the chill of an early December night in Pittsburgh last year to celebrate in the warmth inside Heinz Field, home of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Their reason for celebration had nothing to do with the exploits of the city’s beloved professional football team. A community plan was being unveiled for improving the quality of life in the city’s Northside neighborhoods around the stadium that the voices of several thousand residents and community stakeholders had shaped. And hopes were high that improvements in infrastructure, schools, employment and lives would be more broadly and quickly realized, as they had in other city neighborhoods where resources and revitalization were attracting investment and people.
