FAQS
Is the situation critical?
Yes. We can’t wait – we’re losing people, and that’s a problem. In fact, it’s led to alarming repercussions: a scarcity mentality, declining tax base, loss of Congressional seats and a dwindling talent pool. If we want to stop further losses and begin to thrive, we need to chart a new strategy that plants our flag in a prosperous future.
Who is trying to solve this problem?
We are. We’re built differently – we have to be. Many regional organizations are charged with managing and promoting Pittsburgh. Each has its own focus – governing the region, attracting global business, recruiting talent or welcoming visitors. We have to create a focused strategy on the people that will power Pittsburgh. The pioneers. The visionaries who take risks and solve problems to build a better tomorrow.
