BEN joint community plan
Putting the Plan into Action
Congratulations to the BEN Communities!
All three councils of Braddock, East Pittsburgh, and North Braddock adopted the BEN 2030 FUTURES plan as the guiding document for municipal development for the next 10 years. We are thrilled to see these boroughs take community input to the next level and look forward to seeing the creations that come forth!

We create a sense of community through our buildings, streets, and open spaces, and they communicate our identity to others. We want vibrant and safe places for all ages where we can share ideas and resources.
To achieve a vibrant community, we collectively identify goals and ways to measure our progress. Success will be demonstrated through social, economic and environmental factors.
Communities are quilted together with many ideas, perspectives, and initiatives. We create and nurture effective partnerships that honor our origins and increase our knowledge and access to resources.
