CNCP - Garden Theatre Block

Community Meeting - 16th March @ 6:30pm AUUC North Avenue

This working group focuses on the block that houses the Garden Theater.

This block is historically significant, constitutes the “core” of the Central Northside and consists entirely of proper-ties owned by the URA. Presently the CNNC has been given an option to develop most of these properties and has, to this end, formed a group called “Northside Tomorrow” with the North Side Leadership Conference (NSLC.)

Topics of discussion will center on possible strategies to be pursued by “Northside Tomorrow” for restoring and developing the Garden Theater and the surrounding buildings in ways that will benefit the commu-nity and preserve this unique area.

Childcare facilities will be available on a REQUEST BASIS ONLY, please contact info@cnnc-pgh.org, or call 412 321 1012.

Community Meeting - 4th March - 6:30pm AUUC North Avenue
