Rep. Dan B. Frankel    April 8, 2025 | 2:50 PM

PITTSBURGH, April 8 – Improvements are coming to the South Craig Street business corridor thanks to new funding of $213,326 from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development, state Rep. Dan Frankel announced today.

Frankel said the grant will fund projects to improve aesthetics, community connections and business relationships in the corridor. 

“South Craig Street is home to so much creative energy – in the arts and sciences, in industry and innovation, and in multicultural restaurants and events that bring us together in the best possible ways,” Frankel said. “The new funding will allow us to continue revitalizing this unique corridor to attract new visitors, boost foot traffic for area businesses and expand welcoming public spaces for commuters, students and entrepreneurs to connect and thrive.”

The funding to Pittsburgh Innovation District is part of a package of $17 million awarded for 81 projects statewide under the Main Street Matters program.
