And along the way, our region hosted a successful G-20 Summit and World Environment Day. We have much to be proud of.

And yet, significant work remains. The future of transportation funding in the Commonwealth is unresolved, along with the long-term sustainability of the Port Authority of Allegheny County. Municipal pensions are still a problem waiting to be solved, and neighboring states are aggressively courting our energy industries, just as our region has begun to re-emerge as the center of American energy.

My term as Allegheny Conference chair has come to an end, but I remain involved and continue to work with Chuck Bunch of PPG Industries, Inc., our new chair, and all of our Regional Investors and partners to realize our region’s full potential. Together, we can do it. That is the true Power of Pittsburgh.
