Better Block McKeesport

Better Block McKeesport

The campus is on the planning committee for Better Block McKeesport, an initiative supported and funded by The Better Block Foundation and the Richard King Mellon Foundation.  On November 23, from 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. people can enjoy a temporary, redesigned 5th Avenue in downtown McKeesport.  Leading up to that, we are seeking volunteers to help us paint crosswalks, ground murals, and build wiki block structures.
