As reported by the Pittsburgh Business Times, the Pittsburgh City Council is considering extending Bakery Square’s specially planned district designation to an adjacent 14-acre site where the Eastside Village Shopping Plaza is located.
The 14-acre site, called the “Bakery District Connector,” would include public gathering spaces and improved street and traffic patterns, as well as additional mixed-use development.
Walnut Capital, which has been engaging with nearby community groups, including ELDI, for nearly two years on the complex concept, would also help fund a $25 million effort to drive Black affordable and mixed-income homeownership by building and rehabilitating 100 homes in the city’s East End, focusing on the Larimer community.
Come learn more about the Bakery Square Expansion in a community meeting hosted by The Village Collaborative of East Liberty on Monday, August 7 at the Kingsley Association.
We hope to see you there, and please help us spread the word!
