Harrisburg – Sept. 30, 2016 – Efforts to redevelop the former Westinghouse site in Churchill will be bolstered by more than $2 million in grant funds announced today by Senator Jay Costa (D-Allegheny) and Representative Paul Costa (D-Allegheny).
The $2.5 million grant for the project was approved through the state’s Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP).
“We are fortunate to be able to bring such critical investments to Pittsburgh,” Sen. Costa said. “Projects like this bring excitement, provide jobs and spark economic growth and development and are vital to the future of Churchill and communities throughout the East Hills.”
Sen. Costa said that once completed, the Westinghouse site will be home to Pittsburgh Studios along with retail and office space.

Costa said. “When we invest in these projects, we’re investing in people, growing jobs and providing opportunities for families to grow and thrive in our communities. That shared vision is what makes projects like this so important.”
