I'm somewhat surprised, in a good way, at the pace of this redevelopment project.

Onorato has really been supporting Braddock over the last few years, and I'm interested in seeing what happens with the turnover in administration...

Looks like a solid plan for repurposing the building. I hope that the Community College is able to operate there since they've just closed its Downtown Center. They play a leading role in community education and workforce training and is so vital to employment and the overall economy of the region, now is the worst time to let those training programs flounder.

Chances are CCAC would just relocate it's current Braddock Hills facility which is currently housed in a strip mall:

Braddock Hills Center | Community College of Allegheny County

You mean the "new tax king", don't you?

Glad he got the boot.

These new folks that are pulling off this reassessment are next to go. The media will start showing the old folks losing their home in droves soon enough.

Tax, tax, tax!
