The community Comprehensive Plan for Collier Township, seeks to accomplish this by directing the Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. It presents use of land; the movement of people and a 10-year guide for the maintenance and goods; the conservation of natural enhancement of existing community assets resources; the redevelopment of key areas; and for improvement, development and and the provision of adequate redevelopment within the Township.

The employment and shopping opportunities. Plan sets forth goals, objectives and actions The Township is regarded as a desirable based on community desires and a thorough analysis of existing conditions, trends and regional setting. The Comprehensive Plan helps preserve and protect important existing features and resources, coordinate new growth and development, and establish a strong, positive community identity. 3 ` The Spirit of Collier There are several ways to express Collier’s commitment to foster and to guide desirable growth and conservation in the community. A painter may use one set of tools; the Township may use another. Yet, the painter’s and the Township’s approaches are parallel. If a painter were asked to illustrate Collier Township’s commitment to its residents and businesses, he or she would first gather a piece of canvas, a sturdy frame and sketch a scene. The Township would start with its land, networks and natural, civic and cultural resources. A canvas is much like the land; a frame much like networks of infrastructure or connectivity; and a scene much like a system of environmental and cultural resources. A painter strives to capture the right light, the right angle and the right motion; the Township aims to define realistic and forward-reaching goals, objectives and actions. In pulling all of these important elements together, a painter creates a masterpiece; the Collier community offers its residents and business owners a desirable place to call home. Art is not static; neither are development and conservation. Maintenance and improvement of physical systems occur daily and stakeholders gather at the table to continually balance investments of time and action. Crafting a strategy that embraces a community’s complexion and beauty is an art. This is the Township’s aim for distinction and action. 4 The Community’s Comprehensive Plan Part 1: A Community of productive rural/farmland and Distinction retail/employment centers (e.g. Settlers Ridge, Robinson Towne Center and The The Comprehensive Plan contains four Pointe at North Fayette, Penn Center West) Parts.

  • Anatomy of a Neighborhood: Homewood in the 21St Century, 2011
    ANATOMY OF A NEIGHBORHOOD: HOMEWOOD IN THE 21ST CENTURY March 2011 Project in support of the Homewood Children’s Village report: State of the Village, 2011 Program in Urban and Regional Analysis University Center for Social and Urban Research University of Pittsburgh 121 University Place Pittsburgh, PA 15260 Homewood Children’s Village University of Pittsburgh School of Social Work Center on Race and Social Problems Executive Summary The Urban and Regional Analysis program at the University Center for Social and Urban Research (UCSUR) has been engaged in a number of projects involving Pittsburgh neighborhoods, with its Pittsburgh Neighborhood and Community Information System (PNCIS) serving as a valuable resource for these projects. Homewood is a neighborhood in Pittsburgh’s East End that has experienced tremendous change since the 1940s, as suburbanization, population loss and post-industrial restructuring of the Pittsburgh region have deeply affected this community. This report summarizes collaboration between UCSUR and the Homewood Children’s Village in 2010. Information from this study will also be part of the Homewood Children’s Village State of the Village (2011).1 Some prominent changes and trends analyzed in this report include: Homewood continues to lose population. Between 2000 and 2010, Homewood’s population dropped 30.6 percent, to 6,600 residents. In Homewood South and Homewood West, residents aged 65 and over make up nearly a third of the population. The average sales price for existing residential homes in Homewood was $9,060 in 2009, one-tenth the average price for a home in the City of Pittsburgh. This 2009 price represents a substantial loss of home equity from twenty years earlier, when the average home sold for over $22,000 in current (2010) dollars.

  • Social Services Activist Richard Garland Brings “Juice” to a New Program That Puts Ex-Cons on the Street to Stop Brutal Violence Before Lives Are Lost
    Social services activist Richard Garland brings “juice” to a new program that puts ex-cons on the street to stop brutal violence before lives are lost. By Jim Davidson Photography by Steve Mellon Adrienne Young offers a cherished image of her son, Javon, gunned down a decade ago in the last epidemic of street violence involving youth in Pittsburgh. Young went on to found Tree of Hope, a faith-based agency that serves families and children devastated by senseless killings. 13 The story is familiar now. A dispute over turf, money, girls, pride or next to nothing is replayed again and again on the streets of Pittsburgh — streets now marked with the ferocity, the violence, the tragedy that can bring down a neighborhood when young people have guns. ❖ Adrienne Young knows about it all too well. On a night just before Christmas 10 years ago, her 18-year-old son, Javon Thompson, an artist who had just finished his first semester at Carnegie Mellon University, was visiting a friend’s apartment in East Liberty. “He was successful. He had never done anything to anyone. He was an artist and writer — he was a great child,” Young says now. That night, Benjamin Wright, a robber dressed in gang colors, burst into the apartment and icily ordered Thompson to “say his last words.” Gunshots rang out, killing Thompson and wounding two others. Wright, who later confessed that he shot Thompson and robbed him for failing to show proper respect to his Bloods street gang, is serving a life sentence. ❖ But the carnage from the violence extends well beyond the victims and the shooter.
