  • 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.

It is PPG's corporate policy with respect to Superfund activities to cooperate voluntarily with environmental agencies and other PRPs to address adverse conditions at a site where PPG is involved. PPG has conducted a diligent search of its records to determine whether any of its facilities sent materials to the Skinner Landfill. As PPG indicated in its 104(e) responses, it does not have any internal documents or other relevant evidence linking it to this site. Upon interviewing employees at PPG's Circleville facility, it was reported that PPG Circleville employed Chemical Leaman Tank Lines, Inc. during the relevant time period to transport finished products to various PPG customers. In addition, it is believed that Circleville received raw materials from suppliers via transport fay Chemical Leaman. PPG has no evidence that PPG used Chemical Leaman to transport waste materials and has submitted two 104(e) responses to the United States Environmental Protection Agency stating same. Mr. Charles R. Dyas December 9, 1991 Page 2 Based upon our current information, PPG does not believe that; it is connected to the Skinner Landfill site and, at this time, declines participation in the PRP group.

  • N the Early 1950S Pittsburgh, the Allegheny Conference on Community Development Was the Power Center for the City and the Region
    INSPIRED BY A 1950S PITTSBURGH RENAISSANCE CAPTURED IN PHOTOGRAPHS, AN ENDOWMENTS-FUNDED PROJECT BRINGS A NEW DOWNTOWN RENAISSANCE INTO FOCUS FOR A NEW AGE. BY DOUGLAS ROOT n the early 1950s Pittsburgh, the Allegheny Conference on Community Development was the power center for the city and the region. The men (all men and all white in those years) included CEOs of Pittsburgh-based corporations, elected offi cials, and education and civic leaders. A few on the conference Executive Committee also were budding philanthropists. I This serious group had taken on one of the most signifi cant urban redevelopment programs in the country’s history. It changed so many areas of city life that it was later named the “Pittsburgh Renaissance,” the fi rst of several the city would experience in the next 60 years. The leaders who conceived Renaissance I were ambitious, impatient with delay and no-nonsense in decision making. They gloried in project blueprints and thick reports on issues such as housing, zoning and public health. They also weren’t afraid to confront politicians and labor leaders in those classic smoke-fi lled rooms. So it was nothing short of astounding that this elite group embraced something that had little to do with the business of building. Talented photographers were unleashed throughout the region to document the dramatic physical changes and the new patterns of daily life. The stated goal of the Pittsburgh Photographic Library, the name for the project headquartered at the University of Pittsburgh, was to educate the region and the nation using Pittsburgh as a sterling example of the great benefi ts that come from comprehensive urban planning.
