Mount Washington Community Development Corporation

Business DevelopmentBusiness development at the neighborhood level begins by taking advantage of existing resources and assets in the community including the close proximity to the downtown core business district, affordable single-family homes, access to parks and recreation, mass transit availability and an active core business district. Additionally, a tremendous visitor/tourism base due to the magnificent city skyline and great amenities like the restaurants on Grandview Avenue help to retain existing businesses and attract new ones to Mount Washington and Duquesne Heights (MW/DH).

Housing DevelopmentResidential and community development projects encourage long-term development benefits to the neighborhood and improve the communitys housing stock. These projects leverage the communitys existing architectural and historic character, mass transit resources and accessibility to quality housing.

Infrastructure DevelopmentInfrastructure development includes maintaining and improving streets and sidewalks, creating and improving wayfinding signage and information sources, maintaining view sheds, local transportation in any form, and a multitude of other activities involving the built environment over which MWCDC does not have direct control. MWCDC encourages local governments and utilities to participate in cooperative efforts to improve local infrastructure.
