🔑 Today at 11:30 AM, Pittsburgh celebrates lives of service and impact!

The City of Pittsburgh’s annual Keys to the City ceremony will be held today on the 5th Floor of the City-County Building, honoring a remarkable group of leaders whose work has shaped and uplifted the city across generations.

This year’s honorees represent a breadth of Pittsburgh’s civic, cultural, and social legacy. Sam Clancy, Roger Humphries, Judge Kim Clark, Dr. Jim Withers, Professor David Harris, and Retired Judge Cynthia A. Baldwin are set to be recognized for their long-standing service and contributions to the city’s neighborhoods, institutions, and public life.

The ceremony will also include the formal presentation of keys to two previously honored figures, Sala Udin and Doris Carson Williams. Both have played pivotal roles in strengthening Pittsburgh’s communities. Udin’s decades of advocacy and public leadership continue to influence the city’s path toward justice and equity. Williams’ longstanding commitment to small business development expanded opportunities for Black entrepreneurs and strengthened economic pathways across the region.

Mayor Ed Gainey will deliver remarks honoring each recipient and reflecting on the importance of service, leadership, and community stewardship in shaping Pittsburgh’s future.

The Hill CDC is aware of reports that Boston-based Fenway Sports Group is selling the Pittsburgh Penguins franchise to the Hoffmann Family of Companies based in Chicago. We are paying close attention to implications for the Lower Hill District redevelopment and our entire neighborhood. With development and site control now returned to the Sports & Exhibition Authority (SEA) and the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA), the focus remains on accountability and implementation of the Community Collaboration and Implementation Plan (CCIP), the framework created to guide community benefits tied to redevelopment of the site. The CCIP aims to protect public and communal interest by ensuring commitments to workforce participation and economic opportunity for Hill District residents, development that reflects community priorities, ongoing community involvement in decision-making, and more.

Any ownership change of the Pens does not alter the need for outcomes that benefit Hill District residents. We have waited long enough and remain deeply concerned about the manner in which our community's future has been managed. It is incumbent upon the URA and SEA to reaffirm their commitment to the Hill District community, which has yet to occur in any meaningful manner to date. The Hill CDC will continue to work with current and incoming administrations at the City and County, and beyond, to ensure that another two decades do not pass with our community held in a state of arrested development. Tune in and be ready to engage in 2026.

🏙️"As Pittsburgh prepares to begin a new chapter under Mayor-elect Corey O’Connor, the Pittsburgh Community Reinvestment Group (PCRG) views this moment as an opportunity to center neighborhood voices and recommit to a development strategy that is responsible, equitable and grounded in community experience.

Transitions in leadership can create uncertainty, but they also open the door for renewed collaboration, fresh ideas and a chance to carry forward the strongest elements of what came before.

Over the past several months, we’ve been encouraged to hear O’Connor mention the need for responsible development. For PCRG, responsible development is more than a slogan — it’s a framework. It means that growth must be community-driven, not imposed. It means that affordability is a baseline requirement, not an optional add-on. And it means that development must enhance the lives of people who already live here, not price them out or destabilize long-established communities."
