County advocacy secures more than $5 million for Kane McKeesport, Police and Fire Academy, and Boyce Park Pool

PITTSBURGH – The Shapiro Administration and legislative leaders this week announced nearly $90 million in Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP) awards for 60 projects across Allegheny County, supporting investments in economic development, public safety, infrastructure, workforce development, housing, and community revitalization.

Through advocacy by County Executive Sara Innamorato and the Allegheny County Department of Economic Development (ACED), Allegheny County secured more than $5.1 million in RACP funding for three county-led capital projects administered through the Redevelopment Authority of Allegheny County (RAAC):

  • $3 million for Kane McKeesport to replace the facility’s roof, windows, doors, and other critical infrastructure, improving safety, energy efficiency, and quality of care for residents.
  • $1.1 million for the Allegheny County Police and Fire Academy to replace the building’s aging electrical system and install a new emergency generator, strengthening the academy’s role as a regional emergency operations center.
  • $1 million for Boyce Park Pool to support the first phase of a major renovation, including demolition of the existing wave pool, stormwater improvements, site work, accessibility upgrades, electrical improvements, and other infrastructure enhancements.

“These investments strengthen the services our residents rely on every day, from caring for seniors to training first responders and improving one of our region’s most beloved parks,” said County Executive Sara Innamorato. “I’m grateful to Governor Shapiro and our state legislative delegation for partnering with us to deliver these resources. We worked closely with leaders in Harrisburg to advocate for these projects because strategic public investment creates stronger communities, supports good jobs, and improves quality of life across Allegheny County.”

In addition to the County’s direct awards, the County Executive also advocated several major RACP investments that align with Allegheny County’s long-term economic development priorities, including:

  • $3 million for Mainspring Energy in North Fayette Township to establish a new manufacturing facility for clean energy technology.
  • $2 million for Crafton Towers to modernize affordable housing through critical building system upgrades.
  • $2 million for the Wilkinsburg Agriculture Hub, supporting workforce development, food access, and community education.
  • $1.32 million for Turner Dairy Farms in Penn Hills to expand cold storage capacity and strengthen regional food manufacturing.
  • $1 million for the Mid-Atlantic Mothers’ Milk Bank in Bellevue to renovate its facility and expand access to lifesaving maternal and infant health services.
  • $500,000 for the Allegheny Riverfront redevelopment in Sharpsburg to prepare a former industrial site for new housing, commercial development, and public riverfront access.

Together, these investments reflect a shared commitment between the Commonwealth and Allegheny County to grow the economy, strengthen communities, and make strategic investments that improve residents’ quality of life.

“It’s a joy and an honor to bring dollars back home to Allegheny County to fund projects to improve our local civic infrastructure,” said Senator Jay Costa. “I look forward to these investments making a real, tangible difference for our treasured community spaces that bring us all together. As we move forward, I am confident that the projects receiving funding through the RACP program will bear fruit throughout the County for years to come.”

The Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program is a Commonwealth grant program that supports the acquisition and construction of regional economic, cultural, civic, recreational, and historical improvement projects.
