OPDC is sharing the story of one of the many grateful community members we’ve served in 2018. We hope this story will inspire your continued support for OPDC’s vital work fostering access for all neighbors to the rich opportunities that abound in Oakland.

The University of Pittsburgh is moving towards the conclusion of their Comprehensive Master Plan, developed by Ayers Saint Gross. Community members are invited to a public meeting on Tuesday, October 9, 2018 at The University Club-Conference Room A (123 University Place) from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m.

In February 2018, Bob Kollar, long time Oakland resident, became the first Oakland Community Land Trust (CLT) homebuyer after purchasing a house in the Oakland Square Historical District.

OPDC has been selected by HiberSense to join other nonprofits in the “Smart Heating and Cooling Cohort”, funded by The Forbes Funds, to test a newly-developed temperature control system.

Members of the Oakland Landlord Alliance (OLA) placed an order of 735 Toter trash and recycling bins, in an effort to manage overflowing waste in the neighborhood.
