Go make some history” said CEO Andy Masich of the

ACED joined to dig into what’s next for one of Pittsburgh’s favorite places. President and CEO Andrew Masich was a delight, and his energy is a perfect reflection of the museum itself. One of the many lights in our region.

A 91,700 sq. ft expansion is coming, designed to connect the Cultural District and Strip District, grow attendance by 30% (500K+ visitors a year), and create space for world-class civics and heritage education.

We’re incredibly proud of the Senator John Heinz History Center, named the No. 1 history museum in America for the third year in a row by USA Today’s Annual Readers’ Choice Awards.

Congratulations to Andy and the entire team on this well-deserved honor and their upcoming expansion.

Just a reminder to support the small businesses that make our communities unique and vibrant, today and every day.

The coffee shop where the barista knows your order. The bookstore that hand-picks their favorites. The hardware store owner who walks you to the right aisle. The family restaurant that’s been feeding neighbors for decades.

Our communities are only as strong as the businesses we choose to support.

Walking into Radiant Hall’s Studio 54 inspired launch, |R|4, felt like walking into another world.

Disco balls spinning on the third floor. Artists and musicians bringing 7th Avenue to life in a way that reminded you exactly what a downtown corridor can be.

A trail of pink coins led you a few steps away to a former bank at the corner of Smithfield + Seventh to preview of group exhibition ‘overdraft.’ Featuring more than 10 local artist, the Opening Reception is happening May 29th.

This is what our Main Streets is about.

It’s more than just storefronts. It’s more than just focusing on foot traffic numbers. It’s about creating the conditions for arts and culture to thrive, and watching what happens when a community shows up for it.

Through our Main Streets Allegheny Event and Activation Grant, we’re proud to support Radiant Hall’s Downtown Artist Project Space at 308 7th Avenue, Downtown Pittsburgh.

Rotating exhibitions, artist-led workshops, pop-up retail, and cultural programming are now activating one of the most visible storefronts downtown, drawing people in and supporting the businesses around it.

And every artist involved is being compensated fairly. Radiant Hall is W.A.G.E. certified, paying creatives is not just a talking point.

This is how you invest in communities.

You invest in the people and the creativity that make it worth showing up for.

As the says, the “cool **** factor”

What makes a Main Street important to a community?

It’s not just the storefronts, it’s the people.

Out on historic 8th Avenue for Steel Valley Strides, you could feel it, neighbors showing up, running together, celebrating together, and supporting the businesses and spaces that define this corridor. From Homestead to West Homestead to Munhall, this is one connected community moving in the same direction.

Some at their own pace, and some faster then others 🏃‍♂️

Through our Main Streets Allegheny program, we’re proud to support events like this that activate our business districts, celebrate local identity, and bring real energy to our communities.

is investing $3 million to help first-time homebuyers achieve homeownership in 2026.

“With the cost of homeownership increasingly out of reach for many families… I’m so proud that Allegheny County is bringing this program back.” —

Phase 2 of 1st Home Allegheny builds on a strong first year 🫡

56 families, 34 municipalities, and over $7 million in leveraged private lending, with up to $45,000 in forgivable down payment and closing cost assistance now available.

Homeownership is one of the most powerful tools for building stability and generational wealth. This program is how we make that more accessible.

Our work at ACED is about creating the conditions to attract people and investment and clean, welcoming corridors are key to that.

We’re proud to support the Spring Relaunch of the Immaculate Collection with a $25,000 investment to activate cleanup efforts along key gateway roadways.

As we prepare for the 2026 NFL Draft and beyond, first impressions matter. This work builds on our $4M+ Main Streets Allegheny investment to strengthen business districts, public spaces, and community pride across the county.
