The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) is dedicated to fostering successful economic development in Pittsburgh by building people and forming mutually beneficial partnerships to transform the city.

We drive change through major projects, such as the Centre Avenue Corridor, transforming vacant properties into commercial, residential, and office spaces, and creating new green spaces like Liberty Green. The URA supports community stability through initiatives like the Avenues of Hope program and housing stabilization programs.

We actively support local businesses by providing resources, including COVID-19 emergency loans and support for revitalization efforts. From investing in small businesses to facilitating housing opportunities, the URA creates market confidence and improves neighborhoods for all Pittsburgh residents.
