New today: The Pittsburgh Penguins’ chosen developers ([link removed]) have been waiting months to buy land on the Lower Hill District, with plans to build a Live Nation music venue. Two government agencies would have to approve, and community advocates want to see past promises fulfilled first.
Also this week, PublicSource released stories on foster parents' impacts on trans kids ([link removed]) , violence intervention proposals ([link removed]) and how Jewish schools and groups are preparing ([link removed]) for the synagogue shooting trial. We also co-hosted a debate of all seven county executive candidates; catch up with the video, transcript ([link removed]) and/or recap story ([link removed]) prior to the May 16 primary election.
