Description

Etna, a small suburb of Pittsburgh, became the country's first certified EcoDistrict in 2019. From a place that saw 25% of its homes flood in 2004, learn how collaboration within and between communities made it possible for Etna to green its infrastructure and undergo a grassroots revival. We interview Borough Manager Mary Ellen Ramage and Megan Tuñón, Executive Director of the Etna Community Organization.PhotosEtna Riverfront - before and afterEtna EcoPark - creationResourcesBorough of Etna websiteEtna Green Infrastructure projectsEtna EcoDistrict PlanEtna Community OrganizationTriboro EcoDistrict websiteRiver Bend Comprehensive Plan (for Etna, Sharpsburg, and Millvale)EcoDistricts - website for background informationevolveEA environmental consulting firm in PittsburghEtna EcoDistrict infoTriboro EcoDistrict info
