That's great news. While driving 2 days ago on side streets from Highland Park through Larimer and a bit of Homewood I was reminded how many new construction homes are already going up. The somewhat flat land should certainly help spur development in the next few years as developers prefer as little excavation work as possible.
From the article:

I just love giving my opinions and then getting attacked by the left..... But anyway, this plant will be the best thing to ever happen in Beaver County as it will finally bring jobs and excitement to people who know what hard work is and truly deserve it! I may even think about moving to Beaver to join in on the fun. They will be booming as much as Cranberry, Wexford, and Murrysville in no time!

Go back to city-data where you can join other suburbanites who hate cities just as much as you do. Thanks. I know you get enjoyment out of this so hopefully you get banned again soon.

As you can see, the latest reincarnation of Dr. Avis has now been dealt with. Please let me know the next time Avis decides to try again, preferably in PM form, so I can take care of it ASAP.

From Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation: Thanks to the Pittsburgh Steelers, this decorative sculpture by Charles Keck of New York originally adorned the steel portals of the Manchester Bridge, is now on display yet again on the North Side. From 1915 to 1970, the bridge carried traffic over the Allegheny River from Pittsburgh's Point to the North Side. When the bridge was demolished, the Pittsburgh History & Landmarks Foundation saved the decorative sculpture. The two figures here are frontiersman Christopher Gist and Chief Guyasuta of the Seneca, the westernmost nation of the Iroquois Confederacy. They guided 21-year-old George Washington during his expedition through this region in 1753. That expedition set in motion a series of events that resulted in the founding and naming of Pittsburgh in 1758. Pittsburgh's coat of arms––and black and gold colors––come from the family coat of arms of Sir William Pitt the Elder, the British statesman for whom Pittsburgh was named.
Here is the other sculpture from the opposite portal. I suppose it's still in storage. Not sure if there are future plans for display as well. Also appears they are installing a water feature. Nice addition to the northside.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has awarded $500,000 to the City of Pittsburgh, the Housing Authority of Pittsburgh, and Bedford Dwellings for the revitalization of the Hill District.
“What is great about this planning grant is it allows us to look at redevelopment holistically,” said Pittsburgh City Councilman R. Daniel Lavelle in a statement released Wednesday. “Not only will we focus on the physical development, but also the educational, economic and social development needs of our community.”
Also, a new 18-unit condo building will soon be underway in Bloomfield. I've seen the listings for this building already. As the rendering makes clear, they're adding a third story and a real stairway/elevator core to the old warehouse, which will add to the massing considerably.
It is great to see those projects in Homewood. Although of course I would ideally prefer even higher densities, more decent homes around that Busway station is good public policy, and hopefully it will lead to some positive momentum spreading further into the neighborhood.

Yeah. The cost for all three of the developers building new homes seems to be in the range of $300,000 per unit. I'm certain that they could reduce the cost per unit considerably if they built low-rise apartment buildings instead.

Where is this? Further down Liberty near Don Allen? I can't place it. The slope coming down the side makes me think that picture is from Osceola maybe?
