January 2024 - Resubmission to DRP

Kent Bey, Project Love Coalition President, submitted updated documents for the DRP to review on January 2nd. This project will be reviewed by the DRP panel internally at their next meeting in February.

PLC will now create 12 rental units. The rental units will consist of 12 new construction units (6 on Centre Avenue and 6 on Herron Avenue).

PLC owns the property on Herron Avenue which has an existing building that has significant structural damage beyond feasible financial repair for development and poses an immediate public safety hazard (seeking condemnation).

PLC intends to make 12 rental units affordable. All units will be Project-Based Voucher units. PLC will also create retail space and an indoor farm at both sites.

PLC will create a resource center and parking lot at Centre Avenue. The team is currently working with the URA and City of Pittsburgh to acquire the parcels required for the project.
