The PG has a lot of details, and of course it basically amounts to the Penguins getting even MORE public money to support the project:

Oh well.

But, hopefully we do FINALLY see something actually started next year. Hopefully.
Eh, mid-2020 isn't that far away at this point. I mean, no new major projects are going to start until next spring because we're getting very close to frost season, and casting concrete when it's below freezing is very expensive.

One interesting thing I realized is except for some of the smaller rehabs and single-family homes still under construction, basically all the new housing units which will be done in time for the 2020 census have now been finished. This means we can start putting together semi-accurate predictions of what Pittsburgh neighborhoods are going to experience growth.
