Homestead is a Gold Certified Sustainable Pennsylvania Community within The League’s Sustainable Pennsylvania voluntary performance recognition program.
Homestead’s roots were tied to the rise of the steel mills and its contribution to American history can be seen through landmarks such as the Empire State Building, Brooklyn Bridge and locks for the Panama Canal.
Homestead is “right next door” to the major medical and technological innovation hub of Pittsburgh, offering low taxes, affordable homes, and streamlined processes for businesses and developers.
Grants were secured to develop a pedestrian and bicycle trail connector to access Homestead’s central business district and the Waterfront from the Great Allegheny Passage, which is a multi-use trail connecting Pittsburgh and the Appalachian Mountains through Pennsylvania and Maryland to Washington D.C.
