On Friday, May 21st, YPA released its annual list of the Top Ten Best Preservation Opportunities in the Pittsburgh Area.
The list is a great way to celebrate historic preservation accomplishments in the making.
Since the publication of our list in 2003,
> more than $80 million has been invested in historic preservation projects throughout southwestern Pennsylvania;
> more than 1,200 restoration jobs and 401 permanent jobs were created;
> more than 230 housing units were created;
> $750,000 in wage taxes were generated; and
> for every $1.00 of public investment, $1.30 of private investment was created.
These results were reported in YPA's new report, "The Economic Impact of Historic Preservation," released in May. The bottom line: preservation creates jobs!
