Two of the big projects planned for Hazelwood Green took significant strides forward in recent weeks. Hazelwood-based nonprofit Center of Life received a $5 million matching grant toward the construction of its community center. The Steelers planned community athletic field got Planning Commission approval. Neither project has broken ground yet.

The 139-year-old building at the corner of Second and Hazelwood avenues has housed restaurants, artists and a cigar store. It sits empty now, awaiting a new life as part of a revitalized Hazelwood. The building’s owner is the community development corporation Hazelwood Initiative Inc. The organization is now gathering input from residents on the building’s future as part of its mission of development without displacement.

Mr. Gainey highlighted how his approach to development and affordable housing differs from that of his challenger in the primary, Allegheny County Controller and former District 5 City Councilor Corey O’Connor.

The Republicans vying to win in this month’s mayoral primary don't have track records in 15207. But they do have ideas about how to address some of the problems our readers face.
