ALLEGHENY CONFERENCE ON COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

2012 ANNUAL REPORTGREATER PITTSBURGH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

PENNSYLVANIA ECONOMY LEAGUE OF GREATER PITTSBURGHPITTSBURGH REGIONAL ALLIANCE

The Allegheny Conference and the Pittsburgh region are recognizing impor-tant milestones in 2013. For the Conference, this is the 10th anniversary ofour affiliation with the Greater Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce, the Penn-sylvania Economy League of Greater Pittsburgh and the Pittsburgh RegionalAlliance. For our region, this marks 30 years since the metro unemploymentrate hit an all-time high of 18 percent.

Since then, the Pittsburgh region has been re-imagined and re-made. Today,more people are in our workforce than ever before. Our population is growing,and growing younger and better educated. Our diverse economy and highquality of life are attracting global attention.

The Allegheny Conference and its affiliates during the last decade have beenfocused on strengthening and growing the region. Its membership has grownto more than 300 Regional Investors, which better reflects private-sectoremployment across our 10-county region. Our unique model, one of con-tinuous improvement, is delivering results.

In 2012, the Conference provided leadership to help pass importantlegislation to improve our region’s economic climate, including therestoration of Act 47, public-private transportation partnerships (P3)for transportation projects, and creation of a tax credit to incentivizeexpansion of energy-related manufacturing. We forged and strength-ened partnerships though groups such as the Coalition for Sustain-able Communities and the TechBelt Initiative.

Our region’s improved competitiveness is attracting investment. In2012, the Pittsburgh Regional Alliance completed 42 economic de-velopment deals (or “wins”) representing almost $500 million incapital investment and a total job impact of 3,731. And the regionwas recognized for the third best performance in the nation for newexpansion projects.

Yet much work remains. Topping our list is sufficient state investment in trans-portation infrastructure and transit to maintain our region’s competitiveness.We must continue to pursue reform on binding arbitration, business taxes andpublic employee pensions. We must work to expand site development, nonstopairline flights and other measures that will enhance our economic competitive-ness. And we must educate, train and attract enough skilled workers to fill jobsbeing created and jobs opening due to attrition.

Please join with me in redoubling our efforts to further strengthen and growour region.

Sincerely,

Charles E. BunchChair, Allegheny Conference on Community DevelopmentChairman and Chief Executive Officer, PPG Industries, Inc.

There is strength in numbers in the Pittsburgh region when it comes to business investment. Five diverse industry sectors are pillarsof its economy – generating employment, attracting investment and contributing to the gross regional product. Some sectors’ per-formances may falter during turbulent economic times, while others excel. The overall effect is balance and stability.

Additionally, the region has hundreds of partners at allied organizations across 10 counties. Fifty of these compose the Pitts-burgh Regional Alliance (PRA) Partnership – professionals and leaders from the public and private sectors who work togetherto create a climate that’s competitive for business investment, and to generate leads and secure deals.

The PRA’s 42 regional economic development deals or “wins” of 2012 provide tangible evidence of strength. They representmillions of dollars invested in building up the region’s business landscape with bricks and mortar for facilities of all sorts andsizes, as well as creating and maintaining jobs.

The following are examples of last year’s wins, made possible through the PRA and its marketing, research and project man-agement expertise. These professional services, alongside its unique economic development partnership, position Pittsburghas an attractive place to do business – a region where the community is committed to helping investors achieve success.

“The project deals secured by the PRA in 2012 represent capital investment approaching $500 million and 3,731 jobs – 1,955created and 1,776 retained. The team succeeded at securing significant investment because they intimately know the region’sassets and are skilled at selling them. At the same time, they’re measuring the region’s competitiveness by routinely engagingwith domestic and international companies to understand their needs, sharing feedback and advocating for improvements toenhance competitiveness. Our economic development partners share this vision and work in concert to maximize the entire Pitts-burgh region’s investment potential and increase regional prosperity.”

2012 was the first year of a three-year agenda that focuses on three strategic priorities in pursuit of sustainable prosperity.

The Pittsburgh region is home to thenation’s first oil and gas wells, its firstcommercial nuclear reactor, a histori-cally rich coal seam and now the ex-pansive Marcellus Shale natural gasplay. In recent years we have emergedas the new center of American energy,with nationally leading strengths acrossseven energy industries including coal,natural gas, nuclear, solar, wind, trans-mission and distribution, and intelli-gent building.

An occupational analysis commissionedby the Allegheny Conference and the En-ergy Alliance of Greater Pittsburgh iden-tified 14 “Target Jobs” in seven energysectors and the manufacturing supplychain across 10 counties. Eight of the14 require a certificate and/or a two-yeardegree and five require a four-year de-gree. Only one occupation requires justa high school diploma or GED.

In Greater Pittsburgh’s 32 counties, theenergy sector has an annual $25 billiondirect and indirect economic impact,representing 15 percent of its economy,according to the Pennsylvania EconomyLeague of Greater Pittsburgh, the Al-legheny Conference’s research affiliate.More than 60,000 people are employedin direct energy jobs at 1,700 estab-lishments. And upwards of $1 billion inenergy-related R&D is made annually

through the region’s companies, univer-sities and such government entities asthe National Energy Technology Labo-ratory (NETL) and Bettis Atomic Lab.

This all has sent positive ripples acrossour economy and kept us buoyantthrough a national recession. But chal-lenges are on the horizon in our abilityto connect local people with the skillsneeded to fill jobs that are availablenow, and the many more to come.

The employers surveyed expect demandfor talent to fill the “Target Jobs” togrow, and competition for them to befelt across other sectors, especially ad-vanced manufacturing. Employers couldsee tens of thousands of openings be-tween now and 2020, with about 60percent of these openings the result ofBaby Boomer retirements and normalattrition. And that’s just among these14 occupations.

The Allegheny Conference and the En-ergy Alliance will continue to bring atten-tion and engagement to this challenge,but business must lead. Employers mustdo a better job of marketing these ashigh-paying, rewarding careers, creatingand supporting partnerships with and

among regional secondary, technical andcommunity colleges, and providing learn-ing tracks for the in-demand jobs that in-clude job shadowing and internships. Toget involved, contact Conference SeniorVice President Laura Fisher at [email protected].

In 2010 the Allegheny Conference led the development of ShaleNET, a comprehensiverecruitment, training, placement and retention program for jobs in the oil and naturalgas industry throughout Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York and West Virginia. The $5 millionfederal grant for that program, implemented through a partnership led by the West-

moreland County Community College and Williamsport’s Pennsylvania College ofTechnology, has helped to put more than 2,000 people to work.

Working with our partners, in September 2012 the U.S. Department of Labor’s Em-ployment & Training Administration announced a new $14.9 million grant to expandthe program to five states, with additional hubs in Texas and Ohio. In addition togreatly extending the reach of Pennsylvania’s existing ShaleNET program, the secondaward affirms Pennsylvania’s leadership role in energy workforce development. Fourhub colleges will develop standardized curriculum for widely employed occupationssuch as process technicians, petroleum technicians, instrumentation and electronicstechnicians, pipeline technicians and industrial maintenance technicians – all amongthe 14 critical jobs identified in our energy workforce analysis.

The Pittsburgh Region in 2013: Re-Imagined, Re-MadeIn 2013, the Pittsburgh region marks the 30th anniversary of its worst economic crisis, a year in which metro unemploymenthit a record high of 18 percent. Three decades later, the region has transformed itself into a diverse, stable economy fueledby knowledge, technology and innovation, with the largest workforce in its history. Part of that makeover included strategic in-vestment in arts and culture and outdoor recreation.

The Allegheny Conference and its affiliates – in partnership with VisitPittsburgh, Vibrant Pittsburgh and others – will celebrateour 30-year transformation story throughout the year through such events as the dedication of the iconic fountain in Point StatePark and the soon-to-be-completed Great Allegheny Passage biking and hiking trail that links Pittsburgh to Washington, D.C.

The Conference will unveil its redesignedcareer-awareness portal and job searchengine, ImaginePittsburgh.com, whichmarkets the region as a great place to ad-vance a career and build a life.Launched to build awareness of the250th anniversary of the naming of thecity of Pittsburgh, it was enhanced in2008 with a regional job search engine– unique in the nation. The site waslater retooled to focus on regional jobopportunities and talent retention ofcollege graduates. In 2012, the site re-

ceived 55,000 unique visits from asclose as Carnegie, Pa. to as far as India,China and Russia.

Today young college-educated profes-sionals are increasingly choosing Pitts-burgh as a place to launch theircareers, even as Regional InvestorsCouncil members need to attract moremid-career talent. As a result, anotherImaginePittsburgh.com update is un-derway, to be unveiled in summer2013. The redesigned site will includecontent from Vibrant Pittsburgh tohighlight the Pittsburgh region as a di-verse, welcoming place that’s bigenough to be fun, but small enough foran individual to make a difference.

In the meantime, the Conference hasbeen seeding its online attraction andretention efforts with a robust socialmedia strategy that includes our blog,ImaginePittsburghNow.com, which is aGoogle News source that averaged 4,000unique visitors a month in 2012. OurTwitter feed, ImaginePgh, has more than7,000 followers; our 200 videos atYouTube.com/ImaginePgh were viewednearly 18,000 times in 2012 and poststo Facebook.com/PittsburghRegion typi-cally garner hundreds of viewers each.

The Pittsburgh Impact initiative is con-tinuing its work to help local compa-nies to thrive. In addition to its effortsto support the conclusions of researchpioneered by the Team PennsylvaniaFoundation and the Pennsylvania De-partment of Community and EconomicDevelopment, the Pittsburgh Impactinitiative has sharpened its focus tothree major areas:

• Continuing the development andpromotion of systems such asBuyPittsburghFirst.com (linkinglocal buyers to local suppliers tokeep more resources in the region’seconomy) and BusinessQuick-Guide.com (connecting localcompanies to the region’s valuableeconomic development resources);

• Presenting educational opportunitiesto local companies around thecritical issues of private equity andexit planning to ensure that busi-nesses that have grown in Pittsburghcontinue to create jobs in our region;

• Leading a nationwide Open Innova-tion research project – beingconducted by RIC member 113Industries – to identify programsthat have successfully nurturedentrepreneurship in the African-American community, and workingwith a local group of AfricanAmerican leaders to identify andimplement the most applicableprograms in the Pittsburgh region.

The Allegheny Conference believes that a diverse workforce is essential to the ongoing economic vitality of the Greater Pittsburghregion. We must attract, retain and elevate people of all backgrounds in work environments that are inclusive and welcoming.

We are working with Vibrant Pittsburgh, a coalition of employers, educational in-stitutions and nonprofits, to help people of diverse backgrounds to identify qualityjob opportunities across our five key sectors. Vibrant Pittsburgh helps connectpeople with jobs directly through its employer members (all of which are AlleghenyConference Regional Investors) and through OppsPlace, an online site that bringstogether qualified minority job seekers and businesses with Fortune 100 compa-nies interested in hiring or contracting.


Energizing Tomorrow’s Economy Infrastructure: The Foundation for Sustainable Prosperity

The Allegheny Conference is nearing its70th anniversary. Incorporated from theCommittee for Postwar Planning in1944, the organization became themodel for public-private partnerships tofollow. Best-known for the successfuleffort to control the smoke that black-ened Pittsburgh’s skies (a priority thatcontinues to this day through our sup-port of the Breathe Project), the Con-ference set three other priorities for thefuture, all related to infrastructure.

In addition to air, the Conference fo-cused on water, championing a regionalsanitary sewer system and enhancedflood control. And, of course, there wasurban redevelopment. Today providingclean air and water and infrastructureto support economic development is asimportant as ever. So is ensuring thatroads, bridges and public transit aresafe and reliable.

Drawing on the region’s strong industrybase of 3,000-plus water industry com-panies, the Allegheny Conferencethrough the Pittsburgh Regional Al-liance continues its work as a foundingpartner of the Water Economy Network.That includes helping existing busi-nesses access new water-related oppor-tunities and encouraging new businessventures and job creation.

Stronger collaboration and greater inte-gration of services among wastewatermanagement entities can deliver betterservices and better water quality forresidents, businesses and communi-ties. Those are the findings of a high-level stakeholder panel which theAllegheny Conference assembled at therequest of the Allegheny County Sani-tary Authority, or ALCOSAN. The paneldeveloped and evaluated regionaliza-tion options for 83 communities – in-cluding the city of Pittsburgh – forwhich ALCOSAN provides wastewatertreatment.

Finally, long-term, sustainable, compre-hensive funding for transportation infra-structure and transit systems is vital ifour community is to thrive. Young pro-fessionals and emerging leaders haveparticularly identified reliable, robustmass transit as key to talent attractionand retention. The Allegheny Conferenceis committed to working with partnersacross the region and state to achievethis in 2013.

Exploration &Production

Uses include:• Gas distribution• Fuel• Gas-to-Liquids• Feedstock for petrochemical,

plastics industries

Midstream DownstreamUpstream

Storage & TransmissionPipelines

Downstream Opportunities EmergingShell Chemical’s proposed petrochemical complex near Monaca, Beaver County would be the single largest “from the groundup” industrial investment in the Pittsburgh region in a generation. This multi-billion dollar facility, known as an ethane cracker,would convert liquids from natural gas into ethylene products for use as feedstock for countless manufactured goods. An analysisby the Pennsylvania Economy League of Greater Pittsburgh estimated the facility would support 18,000 direct, indirect andinduced jobs in the peak year of its construction, and between 2,000 and 8,000 jobs when operational. The Pittsburgh RegionalAlliance has been instrumental in liaising among Shell and regional stakeholders to help move this proposed project forward.

The Pittsburgh region is emerging as the new center of American energy. But energy leadership is nothingnew here. In 1859 Col. Edwin Drake struck oil in Titusville, just 100 miles to the north, and set in motiona chain of events that made possible the modern world – from the automobile to powered flight and thepetrochemical industry – all within 50 years. Drake could never have predicted the outcome of hisinnovation, nor could he have foreseen the many innovations that came as a result.

In 2004, less than nine years ago, Range Resources struck gas in the Marcellus Shale inWashington County. In many ways we are still at the beginning of what that will meanfor our region, the nation and the world.

Put another way, it is 1868 all over again.

“No one person or organization can predict the future, but together we canchart a course and find ways to make the most of our natural and humanresources while protecting and improving the environment. Our naturaltendency to innovate and collaborate is the true Power of Pittsburgh.”– Morgan O’Brien, President and CEO, Peoples Natural GasIncoming Chair, Greater Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce

To this end, the Allegheny Conference and Innovation Works organized the Energy Allianceof Greater Pittsburgh. It consists of more than 100 organizations representing the region’s seven energy-related industries – coal,natural gas, nuclear, solar, wind, transmission and distribution, and intelligent building – as well as their supply chain. Since 2009the Energy Alliance has worked to increase the scale of this sector and encourage investment to create jobs.

Through the leadership of the Greater Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce, many of these organizations have joined the “Friends ofNETL” coalition. They are supporting the mission of the National Energy Technology Laboratory, the nation’s foremost center forfossil fuel-related research. To learn more, contact Senior Vice President Ken Zapinski at [email protected]

“The Pittsburgh region is a place where people roll up their sleeves and work together in partnership across public and privatesectors. By engaging our emerging leaders and being intentional in how we focus our efforts and resources, we will make this abetter place for everyone.”

– Laura E. Ellsworth, Partner-In-Charge, Jones Day-PittsburghAllegheny Conference Vice Chair, Pennsylvania Economy League of Greater Pittsburgh Chair

These are relatively good times for the Pittsburgh region. Although the unemployment rate edged up in 2012, interest in ourregion among business decision makers remains strong. At the same time, we cannot take our successes for granted. Fiveimportant challenges top our priority list:

Five Challenges in 2013

Skills GapWhile the story of Pittsburgh’s come-back is something to celebrate, Pitts-burgh faces the unique workforcechallenge of meeting the demands of agrowing economy coupled with 30years of population loss and the oncom-ing retirement of Baby Boomers. In arecent occupational analysis by the Al-legheny Conference and the Energy Al-liance of Greater Pittsburgh, employersidentified 14 types of jobs across allseven energy sectors that are alreadydifficult to fill but remain in high de-mand. Industry must create awarenessof these opportunities and partner withschools engaged in workforce develop-ment if increasing demand is to be met.

Transit and TransportationFunding CrisisAllegheny County and metropolitanPittsburgh averted a crisis in summer2012 when Port Authority manage-ment, labor and state, county and localgovernments together crafted a tempo-rary solution to keep the buses andtrains rolling. In February 2013, Gover-nor Corbett set the stage for a robustdebate by announcing his vision for ad-dressing the state’s transportation fund-ing crisis. We are committed to workingwith partners across the region andstate to support a funding package thataddresses transportation and transitneeds and can muster enough supportto pass the General Assembly and gainthe final approval of the Governor.

Site ShortageOur inventory of “shovel-ready” sites isbecoming competitively scarce. Overthe past decade, with the support of the“Business in Our Sites” program, wewere able to secure state investment in

infrastructure that prepared thousandsof acres of business sites for develop-ment. Located in all 10 counties, manyof these sites are becoming fully occu-pied. Without shovel-ready inventory,companies will go – and in some casesalready have gone – elsewhere. The PRAis working with the Power of 32 to createa regional site development fund, butgiven the special challenges of our topog-raphy and lack of infrastructure, this isan area where public-private partnershipsare essential.

Capital SqueezeOver the past generation we have in-vested in the innovators and entrepre-neurs pouring out of our region’s 35colleges and universities to create hun-dreds of new companies in our key in-dustry sectors. That’s because we havea strong network of support organiza-tions that work with entrepreneurs andearly-stage companies, among them In-novation Works, the Pittsburgh Life Sci-ences Greenhouse, the PittsburghTechnology Council and the IdeaFoundry. To turn innovative ideas intonew businesses, we rely on the avail-ability of venture capital. Of late thathas been in increasingly short supply,especially home-grown venture capitalfunds that are more likely to keep start-ups in our region as they grow. It is crit-ically important to identify new sourcesof such venture funding.

Pension and BindingArbitration ConcernsThe Commonwealth is home toone-quarter of all the municipalpension plans in the nation,many of which are chronicallyunderfunded. Pennsylvania’sone-sided binding arbitrationlaw perpetually escalates the

cost of public safety services. Pensionand binding arbitration reform can helpsecure the fiscal sustainability of our mu-nicipalities. Without such reforms, ourlocal governments will continue to re-duce services and raise taxes as theystruggle to meet the basic needs of theirresidents and businesses.

We have built a strong foundation totackle these challenges. We have the toolswe need. Now we must find the will. Bycontinuing to work together, we can as-sure sustainable prosperity for our region.
