MAINSTREETS PROGRAM

Mainstreets Pittsburgh is a program of the Urban Redevelopment Authority and is funded in part by the City of Pittsburgh, Mayor Luke Ravenstahl and the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development.

The purpose of the Mainstreets Program at Bloomfield-Garfield Corporation is to develop and execute revitalization strategies in consultation with community groups, residents, businesses and government officials. The program also manages and markets the Penn Avenue Arts Initiative  and the Artists Loan and Grant Fund, and coordinates an informal association of Penn Avenue businesses.
