Downtown Development Activities Meetings

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.

Meetings take place a the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership’s office, located at 925 Liberty Avenue, 4th Floor, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, and are ADA-accessible. Please contact Caitlin Fadgen, PDP Senior Manager of Economic Development, at (412) 325-0157 or via email at cfadgen@downtownpittsburgh.com if you have any questions.

All upcoming meetings are temporarily postponed. Continue to check this page often for meeting updates.

In order to maintain the opportunity for equitable public testimony and keep our communities healthy, the City has postponed all Development Activities meetings and Commission meetings and closed the Zoning counter until further notice. ZBA will also be postponed.

For more information, please visit the Zoning website, which will be updated as information is available. Please reach out to Stephanie Joy Everett at stephaniejoy.everett@pittsburghpa.govif you have questions.
