The EastShore communities of Braddock, North Braddock, Rankin, and Swissvale face many challenges. Since the 1950s, the area has suffered population loss and economic decline. With the de-industrialization of steelmaking and manufacturing in the Pittsburgh area beginning in the 1970s and continuing into the 2000s, this area was hurt as much as or more than any in the country.

 The Enterprise Zone Corporation of Braddock (EZCB), representing all four boroughs, invited ULI to conduct Advisory Services in June 2022 to address a variety of questions focused on economic development, land use, and organizational structure.

 The Enterprise Zone Corporation of Braddock (EZCB) works to support economic development in the EastShore communities. The area has rebounded from the steel industry’s decline, and today, successful businesses are capitalizing on a prime location with low taxes and a skilled and hard-working labor force.
