People
The Hill CDC is committed to the social and economic development of Hill District residents, many of whom have been historically disadvantaged. A variety of programs are offered for business owners, entrepreneurs, aspiring homeowners, creatives and culture workers.


Place
The Hill CDC leads the planning and redevelopment efforts for the neighborhood on behalf of residents and stakeholders of the Hill District. With over $2 Billion of development slated for the area, the Hill CDC is focused on commercial revitalization and affordable homeownership. Equitable outcomes that foster place-keeping and transformative economic investment is the cornerstone of the Hill CDC’s work.
Policy
The Hill CDC is guided by the Greater Hill District Master Plan. This community-endorsed vision establishes fundamental values and development principles that are central to positive activities and healthy neighborhood development. The Hill CDC focuses on land-use policy, social and economic equity, and centering community voice.

Social
๐นThe Hill CDC joins the Pittsburgh community in remembering Nancy D. Washington, a respected educator, philanthropist, and community leader whose dedication to service left a lasting impact on our city.
Throughout her life, Washington championed education, diversity, and opportunities for African Americans. She served in several leadership roles at the University of Pittsburgh, helped establish the August Wilson African American Cultural Center, and supported numerous organizations dedicated to uplifting Pittsburgh communities.
As a lifetime member of the Pittsburgh Branch NAACP and Co-Chair of its recent annual dinner, Washington demonstrated an unwavering commitment to community service and advocacy.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to her family, friends, and all those whose lives she touched. Her leadership, generosity, and legacy of service will continue to inspire generations to come.
