Offered as a way for residents, business owners, property owners, and more to provide feedback to project leaders, the Downtown Development Activities Meetings allow neighborhood stakeholders to hear about plans proposed to affect the Downtown community.

As a Registered Community Organization for Downtown, the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership will host public meetings to review upcoming projects before they are reviewed by applicable City of Pittsburgh commissions and boards, allowing your feedback to be heard early in the planning process.
All meetings will take place at least thirty (30) days prior to the applicant’s first public hearing.
In-person meetings are currently postponed due to the COVID 19 pandemic. All upcoming meetings will take place virtually online via Zoom. The Zoom link for the meeting will be available on the Department of City Planning’s Development Activities Meeting page online the day before the meeting date listed below.
The PDP will host Development Activities Meetings on the second Thursday of each month as long as there is at least one project on the agenda. All projects must submit their finalized project presentation and confirm their meeting date with the PDP at least 10 days in advance of their anticipated date in order to be added to the meeting agenda. Project presentation materials should align with what will be presented to the City of Pittsburgh commission or board that the project is seeking approval from. All project presentations can be submitted to Caitlin Fadgen at cfadgen@downtownpittsburgh.com.
If you have a project that you are seeking to present to the PDP and would like to be added to the monthly agenda, please complete this form.
