In just a few weeks, on November 13th, the next Downtown Development Activities Meeting (DAM) will be held. As a Registered Community Organization (RCO), the Downtown Neighbors Alliance (DNA) will be in attendance. These meetings are a chance to discuss developments and projects before they enter the city planning stage.

A Registered Community Organization (RCO) is a non-profit that works to improve the quality of life in the neighborhoods it represents. In Downtown Pittsburgh, there are only two RCOs: Downtown Neighbors Alliance (DNA) and Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership (PDP). It is DNA’s duty to promote the interests of downtown residents as the city continues to develop.
