If you’re already a subscriber to the Develop PGH email newsletter by Pittsburgh’s Public Source, you’re used to receiving a Wednesday summary of our deep reporting on housing, construction, finance, workforce and more.
Maybe you’ve sometimes read an item and thought: “I wish I’d been at that meeting!”
Get ahead of development in Pittsburgh. Subscribe to Public Source’s Develop PGH newsletter.
Starting this week, we’re shifting the focus and timing of Develop PGH to give you an advance look at big development events to come, while also summarizing the top stories of the past week.
To help you prepare, the newsletter will reach your inbox every Monday morning, instead of Wednesday.
It will lead with intel on a few of the coming week’s development meetings, whether they involve the Pittsburgh Planning Commission, Housing Authority, Urban Redevelopment Authority or city or Allegheny County councils.
You’ll still get our hottest recent development story, plus the week’s most revealing quote and the “editor’s pick” — a must-read that could be about anything.
Look for the new format Monday. If you’re not on the list, and this sounds like your thing, sign up now.
