Welcome to Our Neighborhood
The Pittsburgh Airport Area Chamber of Commerce welcomes you to our “Neighborhood.” Sounds familiar? It does to me. From the iconic Fred Rogers who welcomed generations to his neighborhood to our partners at the Allegheny County Airport Authority with Neighborhood 91. We welcome you to enhance your ideas, your dreams and your mind as you build companies, businesses and families here in the airport area.
The latest two initiatives that are welcoming those from beyond our borders are Neighborhood 91 and the completion of the Southern - Beltway (PA Turnpike 576). An innovative additive manufacturing ecosystem designed here at the Pittsburgh International Airport just recently welcomed a global supplier to its Neighborhood 91 development, Rusal America. The airport’s 195 acre – Innovation Campus features Neighborhood 91 as the first development in the world to both condense and connect all components of the additive manufacturing and 3D printing supply chain into one production ecosystem and this means jobs, jobs and more jobs for our neighborhood.
The Southern – Beltway project is nearing completion after 30 years of development. A dream come true for commercial land developers, businesses and to the community at large of the airport corridor this connector will welcome those from the southern communities directly to the airport in less than 14 miles.
These two welcoming initiatives are just the beginning for the airport community as projects already underway, the airport TMP, the Royal Shell cracker plant and the formation of the ECIC (Energy, Commerce, Innovation Corridor). These projects bring growth and sustainability to our community as over 2,900 new residential dwellings are approved for construction by local municipalities. So we welcome you to live, work and connect in a community filled with people as welcoming as Fred Rogers advocated for…..Welcome to the Airport Community.
