Show Notes

Pittsburgh City Council is sitting on 168 acres of land that they bought for $1 from the federal government, and their plan is to build a training facility for police, fire, and EMS. But their proposal has been put on pause. Host Megan Harris is with PublicSource's Ember Duke, who explains what's at stake with this facility, why Pittsburghers have reservations about it, and what to look out for when City Council returns from summer recess.
