Pittsburgh is getting some love from Bloomberg Live! In a new segment of its Wall St. Week program, Bloomberg asks, “What’s so special about Pittsburgh?” and then looks to the city’s history, culture, industry and sports, including leaders from the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust, PNC and the Pittsburgh Steelers, for some answers. Thank you, William Demchak, Kendra Whitlock Ingram and Art Rooney for lending your voices and sharing the narrative about community and partnership as the “backbone of Pittsburgh.” That backbone is made even stronger by homegrown investment in the way of foundation and philanthropic support that’s directed at transformation and helping the region – with downtown Pittsburgh at its heart – achieve its fullest potential.
