    U.S. EPA Launches Redevelopment of P&LE Railroad Brownfield Site; New Funding for Environmental Assessments at Additional Sites Former P&LE Railroad brownfield site to be new business park yielding 1,172 new jobs, 642 construction-related jobs, and total state and local taxes in excess of $13 million New $1 million federal funding announced for environmental assessments of additional brownfield sites in Pittsburgh region (PITTSBURGH – June 20, 2011) –U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Mid-Atlantic Regional Administrator Shawn Garvin will join elected officials and community leaders today to announce two important milestones in the continuing redevelopment of former industrial (“brownfield”) sites in the Pittsburgh region. Garvin will announce the launch of the redevelopment of the P&LE Railroad brownfield site in McKees Rocks, Pa. The EPA has provided funding for the environmental assessment of this site – the first step in redeveloping the site for future business investment. Trinity Commercial Development, LLC , the redevelopment contractor for the site, has acquired the parcels necessary to begin redevelopment. Garvin will also award new federal funding of $1 million for environmental assessment to the North Side Industrial Development Company, a non-profit development organization, for use on additional brownfield sites located within the River Towns Coalition communities (note to editor: list of River Town Coalition members appears at the end of the release). “EPA is proud to participate in projects where local partners work together to transform a site, such as the P&LE property, into a vibrant facility that benefits the entire community," said EPA mid-Atlantic Regional Administrator Shawn M.

  • Urban Redevelopment Authority of Pittsburgh 2015 Tax Increment Financing Report
    FINANCING OUR FUTURE Urban Redevelopment Authority of Pittsburgh 2015 Tax Increment Financing Report 2015 FINANCING OUR FUTURE In 2015, the Urban Redevelopment Authority of Pittsburgh (URA) continued leading transformative growth in neighborhoods throughout the City of Pittsburgh. Creative public financing led to the implementation of an affordable housing fund in East Liberty, restoration of riverfront access in the Strip District, an equitable redevelopment fund for the Hill District, and the groundbreaking of the 178-acre Almono site in Hazelwood. Each of these tax increment financing (TIF) projects is utilizing economic growth in our City to finance transformative public infrastructure improvements. The URA also announced that $13.6 million in additional real estate and parking tax revenue will be collected by the City of Pittsburgh, Allegheny County and Pittsburgh Public Schools over the next three years due to the full prepayment of South Side Works TIF District debt. Through seamless integration with the surrounding community, the landmark riverfront brownfield redevelopment has added nearly 4,900 jobs, 1,000 residential units, 2.3 million square feet of commercial activity, and a signature public park, marina and trail development that provides critical connectivity to the Great Allegheny Passage system. Tax increment financing continues to be a vital mechanism through which and improves quality of life for our residents. Amidst diminishing federal and state economic development funding, our 29 TIF projects have financed $336 million in critical public infrastructure investments that have leveraged nearly $3 billion in private capital. Together with our partners at the City, County and School District, the URA is expanding the resources with which we have to make Pittsburgh an even more livable and competitive urban center.

  • Guiding Change in the Strip
    Guiding Change in the Strip Capstone Seminar in Economic Development, Policy and Planning Graduate School of Public and International Affairs (GSPIA) University of Pittsburgh December 2002 GUIDING CHANGE IN THE STRIP University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public and International Affairs Capstone Seminar Fall 2002 Contributing Authors: Trey Barbour Sherri Barrier Carter Bova Michael Carrigan Renee Cox Jeremy Fine Lindsay Green Jessica Hatherill Kelly Hoffman Starry Kennedy Deb Langer Beth McCall Beth McDowell Jamie Van Epps Instructor: Professor Sabina Deitrick i ii MAJOR FINDINGS This report highlights the ongoing nature of the economic, social and environmental issues in the Strip District and presents specific recommendations for Neighbors in the Strip (NITS) and policy makers to alleviate problems hindering community development. By offering a multitude of options for decision-makers, the report can serve as a tool for guiding change in the Strip District. Following is a summary of the major findings presented in Guiding Change in the Strip: • The Strip has a small residential population. As of 2000, the population was on 266 residents. Of these residents, there is a significant income gap: There are no residents earning between $25,000 and $35,000 annually. In other words, there are a limited amount of middle-income residents. Furthermore, nearly three-quarters of the 58 families living in the Strip earned less than $25,000 in 1999. These figures represent a segment of the residential population with limited voice in the development of the Strip. There is an opportunity for NITS, in collaboration with the City of Pittsburgh, to increase the presence of these residents in the future of the Strip.

  • Public-Private Partnership in Residential Brownfield Redevelopment: Case Studies of Pittsburgh
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Procedia Engineering 145 ( 2016 ) 1534 – 1540 International Conference on Sustainable Design, Engineering and Construction Public-private partnership in residential brownfield redevelopment: case studies of Pittsburgh Xiaodan Lia, Hao Yanga*, Wenjing Li a, Zhiting Chena aChina University of Mining and Technology,Beijing, Ding No.11 Xueyuan Road, Haidian District, Beijing 100083, China Abstract In discussions on brownfields there is a general consensus among researchers that brownfield sites have the potential to be reused as green spaces, art parks, commerce centers, recreational areas and residential lots. From the various kinds of brownfield redevelopment (BR) activities, residential brownfield redevelopment (RBR) is growing quickly within the US. RBR is considered to match city smart growth goals, and it is more cost-effective for economic development than other brownfield reuse activities. The paper addresses the opportunities and challenges in restructuring RBR’s ecological environment and economical benefits. To reduce or eliminate obstacles we observe a collaborative model through public-private partnership (PPP) utilized in RBR: PPP creates an institutional framework in which the public sectors provide strategic profits to the private sectors, while the private entities implement and develop the public sector’s plan. In order to explore specific and significant factors affecting brownfield redevelopment in housing context, we review literature on PPP in brownfield redevelopment and discuss the compositions and characteristics of both public and private sectors in RBR. From this analysis we point out that there are three key elements for the success of RBR: (1) consensus between public and private sectors, (2) the type of landowner and (3) participation of academic institutions.

This article analyzes a critical housing project named Summerset at Frick Park established in a huge slag heap taken in Pittsburgh. The complicated project involved in the restoration of piled up slag, polluted stream and real estate development, which were required to design as green buildings. The multi-stakeholders project became effective because of utilizing a collaboration model through public- private partnerships during past decades, which creates an institutional framework provided private sector strategic profit while the public sector delivered. By studying detailed on what kind of public-private partnerships participated in, and how public-private partnership contributed to the brownfield redevelopment case, the paper addresses that public-private partnership produced backbone in promoting and stimulating the brownfield reclamation. Besides, the success in governing pollution and sustainable development of this restoration project also provides experiences to other cities that suffering similar trajectories.
