PRESERVATION PITTSBURGH

Preservation Pittsburgh advocates for the protection of Pittsburgh’s historic architecture, culture and landscape. We fulfill our mission by:
• identifying resources and collaborative opportunities for preservation in our region’s neighborhoods and with partner organizations;
• developing innovative ideas and incentives for stewardship of our region’s unique sense of place and heritage; and
• advancing sound public planning and development policies that recognize preservation as an integral part of healthy and sustainable communities.

We are proponents of sustainable development with preservation as a basic tenet. It is preferable and more sustainable to “fix-it-first” whenever possible. Pittsburgh’s lively and diverse communities continue to be a key component of our city’s economic vitality and its ability to attract and maintain its residents. We endeavor to work with community groups and developers during project planning stages to ensure good design, neighborhood sensitivity, and respect for our shared heritage. This is a model for innovation and efficiency in economic development. Over our more than 30 year history, Preservation Pittsburgh strives to protect and improve our region’s communities by focusing on various projects and long-term goals. We invite you to come join us to keep these traditions alive – protecting our past and ensuring our future.
