When asked what’s next…
“As for the city, Mr. Gainey is hopeful for progress in redeveloping 28 acres of the Lower Hill District. “I think the greatest opportunity this city will have is to heal the Hill and restore hope in the Hill,” he said.
The neighborhood just above Downtown was cleared after World War II for development of the Civic Arena, displacing a predominantly minority neighborhood that had its own rich history. Two decades ago, that arena was torn down and replaced with the PPG Paints Arena.
In October, an agreement giving development rights of the area to the Pittsburgh Penguins expired, putting control back in the hands of the city.
“We have an opportunity [with the Hill],” Mr. Gainey said, “To demonstrate the level of growth we can have, to make the most beautiful city, a city for all.”
