“Housing development residential and community development projects have a holistic approach to encourage long-term development benefits to the neighborhood and improve the community's housing stock. These strategies leverage the community's existing architectural and historic character, mass transit resources and excellent accessibility to quality housing. Business development business 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). Mwcdc will continue to support existing businesses and expand efforts to attract new businesses to the neighborhood, which will improve the business district, decrease vacant storefronts, and grow an existing customer base in underserved segments of the neighborhood. Infrastructure development infrastructure development includes maintaining and improving streets and sidewalks, creating and improving wayfinding signage and information sources, maintaining views sheds, local transportation in any form, and a multitude of other activities involving the built environment over which mwcdc does not have direct control.
