Allegheny Forward Public Meeting 03/11/2026

The Allegheny County held a public meeting on March 11, 2026, to discuss the development of Allegheny Forward, the county's updated comprehensive plan. The meeting focused on gathering community input to guide long-term county investments in economic development, housing, infrastructure, transit, and quality of life improvements over the next 25 years. Key themes identified included housing affordability and neighborhood stabilization, parks and recreation access, equity, transportation safety and connectivity, and economic revitalization. The county emphasized the plan's role as an actionable roadmap aligning county resources and policies, with collaboration among county departments, municipalities, and community stakeholders. While the county does not control local land use decisions, it manages major infrastructure and public assets and provides programs supporting housing and economic development. The meeting included polling to prioritize issues and discussions on how the plan will memorialize county commitments and coordinate resources to implement strategies. No specific contract awards or procurement decisions were made during this session, but the plan aims to influence future county investments and partnerships.
