Pittsburgh Area Thrives In 2008

What the heck is going on in Pittsburgh, Pa?  If I were Mayor of any given US city I’d be on the phone yesterday with the Mayor of Pittsburgh asking “doesn’t Pittsburgh understand we’re in the throws of an economic meltdown?”

Pittsburgh added over 4 BILLION dollars in capital investment in the city by companies coming to, adding on, and expanding in the city.  This kept them on pace with their 2007 results which they labeled “the golden year.”

If you live in or around Pittsburgh, this is certainly good economic news, and other your mayor should be the keynote speaker at the conference of Mayors this year.  Read some of what they’re doing to achieve this success HERE.
