A Third Generation of TransformationBy Morgan O’Brien

2014 is the 70th anniversary of theAlleghenyConference on Community Development,our private sector, non-profit organizationdedicated to improving the economy andquality of life of the Pittsburgh region.

The Conference led the first Pittsburgh Renaissance, working inpartnership with City of Pittsburgh Mayor David L. Lawrence toclean up the smoky skies, improve water quality, control floods,and embark upon the first public-private urban redevelopmentprojects in the United States.Thework began in 1944. By the late 1970s the jobwas prettymuchdone… and then the bottom fell out of our industrial economy.Civic leaders found they had to retool and diversify an economyheavily dependent on the steel industry. In addition to business andgovernment, universities and foundations stepped forward to drivethe change. Innovators transformed our traditional industries –man-ufacturing, finance and energy – and entrepreneurs created entirelynew industries through hundreds of startups in healthcare and lifesciences and information and communication technologies. Today,no one sector contributesmore than 23 percent to our regional econ-omy, and employment and labor force are at or near all-time highs.Innovation coming from our universities, hospitals, entrepreneursand businesses continues to propel our economy. Together withthe breadth of energy resources our region houses, they are drivingour next renaissance in manufacturing. And yet, we must moveforward and think carefully about what comes next.

As youwill read in this publication, a new demographic challenge,a population gap, is looming that threatens to undomuch of our re-cent success.Aproblem? Potentially. But in many ways it is moreof an opportunity.For the first time in a generation, our region is home to more jobsthan we have people to fill them. To close this gap, we must be-come a more welcoming, inclusive and diverse region. We mustprovide a hero’s welcome for returning veterans and help connectthem to opportunity. And we must do much more to educate andtrain people who are already here to assure that they may partici-pate in meaningful jobs in our new economy. Within the region,there are thousands ofmotivated individuals who are ready to train,including minorities and people with disabilities.From 1944 to 1979, our region transformed its environment.From 1980 to 2014, we transformed our economy. Beginningin 2015, we must transform our population to sustain oureconomy and our high quality of life.Aswe embark on this third generation of transformation, we do sofrom a position of strength, building upon a diverse economy anda high quality of life.It is time to begin.

Morgan O’Brien is the Chair of the Allegheny Conferenceon Community Development, and President and CEO ofPeoples Natural Gas.

The Pittsburgh Region:A Location of Choice for Business InvestmentThe Pittsburgh Regional Alliance, anAllegheny Conference affiliate, works with partners region-wide to attract and retain investment and reinvent the nextera of business innovation and growth. Investment across five key sectors – advancedmanufacturing, energy, financial and business services, healthcareand life sciences, and information and communications technology – has led to record-setting employment levels in recent years. The intersection ofthese key sectors with innovation and technology is developing the products and processes of the future. Companies are looking to the regionwith its diversifiedeconomy and sector convergence as a stable place offering leading-edge opportunities. Over the past three years, companies like the ones below have builtfacilities or expanded existing ones, created jobs and put the region on the global radar.

ANSYS, Inc.One of the world’s leading engineering simulationsoftware providers, ANSYS, Inc. is occupying anew 186,000-square-foot, five-story headquarters inthe $52million Zenith Ridge development at South-pointe II in Cecil Township,Washington County.The expansionwill create 180 jobs.ANSYS speedsdesign and development times, reduces costs andprovides insight in product and process develop-ment for industries that include aerospace, automo-tive, high tech, energy and healthcare.

Aquion Energy, Inc.Innovative grid-level battery maker Aquion Energy, Inc. opened a full-scale,300,000-square-foot manufacturing facility at RIDCWestmoreland in East Hunt-ingdon Township, Westmoreland County.

Our Accomplishments: 2012-2014The Allegheny Conference and our affiliates – the Greater Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce, the Pennsylvania EconomyLeague of Greater Pittsburgh and the Pittsburgh Regional Alliance – developed our 2012-2014 agenda to encouragesustainable prosperity for everyone in the Pittsburgh region. Over the past three years, significant progress has beenmade in advancing our efforts to Energize Tomorrow’s Economy, Strengthen Communities and Enhance Opportunity.

Historic Statewide Transportation Funding Solution ReachedIn 2013, Governor Tom Corbett signed into law Act 89 – Pennsylvania’s mostcomprehensive piece of state transportation legislation in decades. The transporta-tion package is helping to keep Pennsylvania safe and economically competitiveby investing an additional $2.4 billion per year in roads, bridges, highways, transitsystems, ports, bike paths and other areas.With this outcome, theAllegheny Con-ference achieved one of its top priorities in its 2012-2014 agenda.

Capital Stock & Franchise Tax Phase-Out PreservedThe continued phase-out of the Capital Stock & Franchise Tax (CSFT) has beena top priority of the Allegheny Conference and Greater Pittsburgh Chamber ofCommerce since the Ridge Administration. This tax makes Pennsylvania lesscompetitive for business investment. Under the original phase-out schedule, theCSFT should have been eliminated in 2009. Throughmuch hard work from a va-riety of partners across the state, we will be entering the final year of phasing-outthis tax in January 2015.

Strengthening Communities Partnership Launched;$10 Million Invested in Five Participating Communities

The Allegheny Conferencecreated the StrengtheningCommunities Partnershipin 2013 to make long-term,positive impacts in commu-nities that have been left be-hind despite the region’seconomic recovery. Fivecommunity development or-ganizations are participatingin the program, representingMcKees Rocks, Wilkins-burg, Mt. Oliver/Knoxville,Connellsville and the city ofWashington. To date, contri-butions from Conference

members will leverage nearly $10 million over six years to help the partic-ipating communities fully carry out their revitalization plans.

A More Regional Approach to Wastewater ManagementIn response to an EPAconsent decree, theAllegheny Conference convened a blueribbon panel to determine ways that wastewater management in the 83-munici-palityALCOSAN service area could be improved through greater regionalization.The committee’s work has been the foundation of the forthcoming transfer oftrunk sewer lines from municipal control to ALCOSAN, the broadening of sub-urban representation on theALCOSANboard and the implementation of regionalgreen infrastructure initiatives.

20,000 Jobs Open. Traffic to ImaginePittsburgh.com SoarsImaginePittsburgh.com is the plat-form for the Conference’s work toconnect people to opportunity acrossour region. The website aggregates900+ sources of open jobs throughoutthe 10-county region, making it themost comprehensive resource for re-gional job openings. It helps to attracttalented people to the region and to

connect job seekers already here to career opportunities. Traffic to ImaginePitts-burgh.com has more than doubled since its re-design in 2013.

Innovative ShaleNET Program Puts People to Workin Energy Sector

In 2012, the U.S. Department of Labor announced a new $14.9 million grant toexpand ShaleNET to five states, with additional hubs in Texas and Ohio. Twoyears earlier, theAllegheny Conference facilitated the development of ShaleNET,a comprehensive recruitment, training, placement and retention program for jobsin the oil and gas industry. In addition to greatly expanding the reach of Pennsyl-vania’s existing ShaleNETprogram, the award affirmed the state’s leadership rolein energy workforce development. To date, ShaleNET has helped to put morethan 3,600 people to work.

Pittsburgh Needs You: Our Region

Meeting Our Workforce NeedsPittsburgh’s economy has recovered from the collapse of its industrialbase. Over the past 35 years, with the collapse of its industrial base, thePittsburgh region experienced one of the biggest economic setbacks of anyregion in the United States. In 1983, the metro unemployment rate toppedout above 18 percent.In the years since, the economy has been diversified and the population hasstabilized. More people are working here today than ever before. But theregion has been left older than many competing regions.As of 2013, there’sa 136,834 person “gap” between the population aged 45-65 and the youngergeneration, aged 25-44, that must replace them over the next 20 years.

Our region’s population is also less diverse. Between 1970 and 2010, the per-centage of foreign-born people in the United States grew from 4.8 percent to12.7 percent. In the Pittsburgh region, over the same period, foreign born res-idents as a share of the population dropped from 4.2 percent to 3.2 percent.For a variety of reasons, we missed out on recent immigration waves andour racial diversity is impacted as a result.

“While we don't have an acute workforcecrisis today, we can see one looming inthe not-too-distant future. We can't affordto wait years to build up our workforce;we need to start now.

PITTSBURGH’S RACIAL DIVERSITY TRAILS THE U.S.

Just to sustain our economy, we must attract thousands of more individuals eachyear even as we work to educate and train those already here.

Targeting “Populations on the Move”People are on the move across America seeking opportunity. We mustwork harder to show them that opportunity is here for them. The Al-legheny Conference is seeking to meet the workforce needs of job creatorswith two new initiatives, one targeting “populations on the move,” the otherfocused on developing a skilled workforce from within.Rather than seek to communicate with all mobile talent, we have begun toidentify specific skilled populations that are already in motion, includingPuerto Ricans and veterans, as well as underemployed groups within ourregion seeking upward mobility. By focusing our communications, we be-lieve we can encourage more of them to consider seeking their next careermove here in our region.

Some 50,000 Puerto Rican professionals are moving to the U.S. mainlandeach year. In partnership with numerous organizations, the Allegheny Con-ference reenergized ¡Hola Pittsburgh! and ran a focusedmarketing campaignin Puerto Rico. The results surpassed expectations. Half of the traffic in July2014 to ImaginePittsburgh.com came from the island.

Some 250,000 veterans will be returning to the United States in each of thenext five years. Many of them have skills that are the perfect match for thegrowing energy and manufacturing industries.ServicetoOpportunity.org, a new web-based initiative launched this fall,helps make the match to employers who are ready to hire.

Building a Globally-CompetitiveWorkforce (from within)

In the longer-term,wemust encourage our region’s young people to acquire theskills required by our region’s growing industries.Wemustworkwith educatorsthroughout the region, K-12 and higher education as well, to help all highschool studentsmakewell-informed decisions about post-secondary educationand training, including better aligning career and technical education.We should settle for nothing less than a world-class workforce developmentsystem in our region.

n Faces a Demographic Challenge

“It’s more than a leadership gap becausethe skills of younger people in our regiondon’t match the skills of Baby Boomerswho are retiring. We have to close theskills gap too.”

– Julie Caponi, Workplace Committee member;Assistant Treasurer and Pittsburgh Location

Manager, Alcoa

TheAlleghenyConference is seeking tomeet the workforce needs of job creators withtwo new initiatives, one targeting “populations on the move,” the other focused ondeveloping a skilled workforce from within.

“We have to get more young people in-terested in these skilled jobs. Our careereducation system is broken. If we don’tdo a better job of aligning K-12 andhigher education, we won’t be able todevelop the skilled workers our regionmust have in the future.”

– David Malone, Chair, Pittsburgh Regional Alliance;President and CEO, Gateway Financial Group

Three Strategies to Advance Our RegionWe are aligning three strategies, focused on People, Economy & Community and Infrastructure, to make the Pittsburghregion the location of choice for individuals seeking opportunity.

“By building connectivity among our people, our economy & community and our infrastructure ininnovative ways, we will shape our future together.”

– Richard Harshman, Chair, Greater Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce;Chairman, President and CEO, ATI (Allegheny Technologies Incorporated)

Each of these strategies would be ambitious by itself. To make progress across all three through2017 will require an unprecedented degree of collaboration.

Learn how you can get involved at AlleghenyConference.org

PeopleThe People strategy is all about connections – about connecting people to skills, connecting job seekers to em-ployers and connecting populations on the move to opportunity in our region.We will also focus on the educationand training of people already here, including career and technical education. (See pages 4 and 5)

Economy & CommunityThe Economy & Community strategy will focuson maximizing business investment opportunities inenergy & manufacturing, IT and corporate services,sectors where our region offers a significant com-parative advantage to employers. Work will con-

tinue to improve the region’s competitiveness in terms of taxes and regulation. To buildstrong communities attractive to business investment, the Conference will seek to realize realreform in state and municipal pensions and focus investment in places that have been “leftbehind” by the region’s recovery. We will continue to improve the competitiveness of oureconomy and the quality of our environment.

InfrastructureThe Infrastructure strategy focuses on improving systems and structures that enhance theeconomy, and sustain the population. Initiatives include creating a vision and frameworkfor a world-class transportation network, including improved transit; developing a suffi-cient supply of “pad ready” business sites; addressing the region’s stormwater challenges;focusing attention on the electric grid as the region and the nation transition to a cleanerenergy future; and working to expand domestic and international air service.

We Must be Proactive to Becomea Magnet for Talent

By Dennis Yablonsky

The next generation of transformation in ourregion must focus on people. This point wasmade loud and clear by the more than 1,000individuals across the region who participatedin our 2015-2017 agenda planning process.

Not only do we need to retain and attract enough people to offsetthe loss of the aging Baby Boom generation over the next 20 years,we must better educate and train the people who are already here,children in our schools and underemployed adults. And, we mustfind a way to be more welcoming to the people we are trying to re-tain and attract.The Pittsburgh region is one of the oldest major metros in theUnited States and is also among the least diverse. Compared to thenation as a whole, we are home to more whites and fewer AfricanAmericans and other minorities. As the U.S. population becomes“minority majority” over the next few decades, our region mustmirror these changes. Employers must be able to attract and retainpeople who resemble the markets they serve. If they cannot, we runthe risk that they will expand elsewhere. If we do not act proactivelyand aggressively, we face a future in which our population maybegin to decline again.

The good news is that the population of our region, including theminority population, is growing. The gains are small, but they aresignificant. More young people are moving here than leaving eachyear. And they are better educated than their counterparts acrossthe country.We must do more to welcome these newcomers and toencourage them to stay.Our region will be re-made in the next generation. Our diverseeconomy is strong, but a wave of demographic change is comingthat will challenge that strength.We can have it happen to us, orwe can take the lead. If we are proactive and become a magnetfor talent, we have the opportunity to have the youngest, best-skilled population in the country.By acting together we can becomeAmerica’s location of choice.
