Braddock, PA, UNITED STATES Americas
Report Summary:

The Enterprise Zone Corporation of Braddock (EZCB), representing all four boroughs, invited the ULI to conduct an Advisory Services panel to address a variety of questions focused on economic development, land use, and organizational structure.

The EastShore communities of Braddock, North Braddock, Rankin, and Swissvale face many challenges. Since the 1950s, the area has suffered population loss and economic decline. With the de-industrialization of steelmaking and manufacturing in the Pittsburgh area beginning in the 1970s and continuing into the 2000s, this area was hurt as much as or more than any in the country.
