Congratulations to the @pghglasscenter on its groundbreaking today (or hot pour). A large thanks to @Senatorcosta and Senator @WayneDFontana who lobbied for and shepherded state funding for this project through the process.
This project celebrates Pittsburgh's history in glassmaking (the center of that industry was here a century ago), adds to the great arts and culture offerings here, and provides a place for the creative class to add their talents to the economy and vibrancy of Pittsburgh.
I was delighted to join Kathleen Mulchay, @pghglasscenter founder, current and past board members, campaign chairs, Heather McElwee, the ED, @SenWilliamsPA and @RepInnamorato for today's event that will allow for increased production and the incubation of new small businesses.
