Mooncrest Economic and Market Study Analysis, July 2015

Fourth Economy Consulting

From introduction: "Moon Township hired Fourth Economy Consulting, with assistance from T&B Planning, to conduct a market analysis of the historic Mooncrest neighborhood and prepare strategic recommendations to improve its economic stability. The market analysis provides input to determine financially viable or feasible mixed uses and which uses support the health and stability of the community. As part of this effort, Fourth Economy examined the neighborhood and the surrounding area to answer the following questions: What are the factors affecting the community? What is the opportunity for housing development or improvement? What is the opportunity for office space in the area? What kinds of retail could be supported? What public facilities and services are available? The goal of this analysis was to define opportunities for the community that comply with the historic district and develop a strategy to achieve them. T&B Planning reviewed the findings and strategy to ensure compliance with the historic district regulations. This plan is intended to complement the strategic plan for the Mooncrest Neighborhood Programs that is driving improvements in community and social services." Funding was provided in part by a 2014 Historic Preservation Fund grant to the City of Pittsburgh (project number PA-14-010) administered by the Pennsylvania State Historic Preservation Office (grant number P14AF00167) and the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior. Moon Township, Pennsylvania is a Certified Local Government.
