The Greater Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce 2015 YEAR IN REVIEW | Page 5

The GPCC holds quarterly meetings with members of Pittsburgh City Council. These forums, such as our recent discussion with Council President Bruce Kraus, provide opportunities to collaborate on shared issues of regional importance. The GPCC joined City of Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto to announce the new Burns White headquarters in Oxford Development’s 3 Crossings mixed-use development in Pittsburgh’s Strip District. The GPCC joined Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald and PA DCED Secretary Dennis Davin at a groundbreaking event for Newbury Market – a $450 million project in South Fayette Township, Allegheny County. Brandon Mendoza joined Leon Rodriguez, United States Citizen and Immigration Services Director, and Betty Cruz, the City of Pittsburgh’s “Welcoming Pittsburgh” lead for a discussion about the need for high-skilled immigrants to build a more competitive regional workforce. Lawrence County Commissioner Steve Craig joined the Allegheny Conference’s Ken Zapinski for a presentation at the GPCC’s First Friday Speaker Series. | 2015 Year in Review | PittsburghChamber.com | @GpghCC 3
