The Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership (PDP) is a dynamic organization comprised of business and community leaders, property owners, civic organizations, foundations and residents who provide energy, vision and advocacy for Downtown Pittsburgh. Working collaboratively with its partners, the PDP strives to create a positive Downtown experience for residents, workers and visitors alike.
Founded in 1994, the PDP is a nonprofit organization directed by a volunteer Board. The PDP manages the Business Improvement District, through which property owners within the Golden Triangle agree to assess themselves to pay for services provided by the PDP. These programs include clean and safe, transportation, housing and economic development and advocacy.
