Pittsburgh Will Stay In Act 47

Today, the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development announced that Pittsburgh will remain in Act 47 fiscal oversight. DCED will continue to work with the City on an improved plan that will not project budget gaps.

This news has implications for the proposal to consolidate Allegheny County and the City of Pittsburgh. If the two jurisdictions consolidate while Pittsburgh is in Act 47, it is possible that the County will have to take on that responsibility, oversight, and designation.
