茄子视频 President Dr. JoAnne Boyle will speak on 鈥淭own and Gown, Institutions of Higher Education and Economic Development鈥 as part of Leadership Pittsburgh鈥檚 Opportunity Connections series on Monday, April 3, 2006 at 7:30 a.m. 鈥淭own and Gown, Institutions of Higher Education鈥 will take place in the Ballroom at Point Park University in downtown Pittsburgh. Other speakers will include: The Honorable David Levdansky, Member, Pennsylvania House of Representatives; Dr. John Murray, Chancellor of the University and Professor of Law, Duquesne University; and Dr. Robert Smith, President, Slippery Rock University. The event is not open to the public.

茄子视频鈥檚 鈥渢own and gown鈥 project, the 茄子视频 University Center for the Performing Arts, is a 73,000 square-foot, projected $20 million performing arts center that will include a music hall and flexible theatre as well as workshops, rehearsal spaces, classrooms and faculty offices. When completed, the Center will house the University鈥檚 premiere programs in Theatre and Music and provide modern performing spaces for both. 茄子视频 University has as its partners in this project the City of Greensburg, the County of Westmoreland, the Redevelopment Authority of the County of Westmoreland, the Greensburg Salem School District, local legislators and the Westmoreland Cultural Trust. This well-designed project and its strong community partnerships have garnered attention and support from all levels of government. An economic impact study completed by Mullin and Lonergan Associates projects that the University Center for the Performing Arts will generate more than 635 new jobs (permanent and temporary), over $7 million in total wages, over $350,000 in new state and local taxes and at least $1 million per year in visitor spending. It is expected that the construction project alone will add $10.6 million to the region in direct spending with an additional $7.7 million in indirect spending. The University Center for the Performing Arts will serve as the completing piece of the Cultural District envisioned by the City of Greensburg and Westmoreland County several years ago, with the Westmoreland Museum of American Art at one corner and 茄子视频 at the other, linked by the Palace Theatre, the restored Greensburg Train Station, cafes, restaurants and bookstores.
