NINE MILE RUN WATERSHED RESTORATION Proposal to PA Department of Environmental Protection Environmental Stewardship and Watershed Protection Grant Pennsylvania Growing Greener Urban Redevelopment Authority of Pittsburgh February 3, 2003 U R B A N REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY ======OF ___ PITTSBURGH February 3, 2003 DEP Grants Center Rachel Carson State Office Building 400 Market Street, i 5th Floor P.O. box 8776 Harrisburg, PA 17105-8776 To the Growing Greener Grants Staff: The Urban Redevelopment Authority of Pittsburgh is pleased to submit this grant application for the next phase of the Nine Mile Run Watershed Restoration project. We refer to this as the next phase since the restoration of the Nine Mile Run and the extension of Frick Park to the Monongahela River is a multi-year project and this work has already benefited from two Growing Greener grants. The work represented in this application builds on the work performed as a result of these two previous grants and helps insure that the investment of State Department of Environmental Protection is protected. The redevelopment of former brownfield properties such as the Pittsburgh Technology Center, the South Side Works and Washington's Landing are all outstanding examples of former riverfront industrial sites that offer new residential and employment opportunities to citizens of the region.
