State Delays Decisions on Redevelopment Grants from the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
"A glut of grant requests and the governor‘s vow to base awards on merit rather than politics are delaying $125 million in redevelopment aid to municipalities statewide. State Budget Office officials are scrutinizing $765 million worth of requests in 175 applications from groups in 39 counties. They include $115 million in requests originating in Allegheny County that could play a part in building a 33-story Downtown office tower, preparing the Lower Hill District for development on the former Civic Arena site and helping to restore a historic Mt. Lebanon movie theater."
