About Allegheny Places

Allegheny Places is Allegheny County’s first county-wide comprehensive plan. It is a general guide for land use and growth management in the County. Through Allegheny Places, we can better coordinate public and private efforts to enhance and rebuild communities, ensure the soundness of critical infrastructure, protect unique natural resources and historic assets, nurture vital cultural facilities, and encourage economic growth and stability for the benefit all citizens of our County.

Status of Comprehensive Plan

The final draft is now available for review. Thank you to all of the many individuals, organizations, and technical experts who have taken an active interest in the Plan. Your participation ensures that Allegheny Places will be a living Plan that speaks for all of the citizens of this County. Please take some to review and provide your comments on Allegheny Places Draft Plan.

On July 29th, 2008, there will be a public open house to introduce the final draft of Allegheny Places. The open house will be from 5:30 to 7:30 PM, at the Duquesne University Power Center on Forbes Avenue. Parking for the open house is available at the Forbes Avenue parking garage, across the street from the Power Center. The Power Center is also readily accessible by transit. There are bus stops on Forbes Avenue close to the building entrance. For information about specific routes and times, please contact the Port Authority at 412-442-2000. For more information contact Kay.Pierce@AlleghenyCounty.US
