Description
The Allegheny Conference on Community Development brokered pollution-control program in the 1940s explicitly influenced the decision of the Equitable Life Assurance Society to invest in planning the Gateway Center project, which led to the development of Point State Park. The park was completed in 1974 and today, the fifty-nine acre Point, bounded by Stanwix Street and the Allegheny and Monongahela riverbanks, includes twelve office and residential towers, four bridges over land and water, and one of the world’s tallest fountains.
