Established in 1965 in response to widespread blight and abandonment, Manchester Citizens Corporation (MCC) focuses on planning, building, promoting, and maintaining Pittsburgh's largest historic area, the thriving Manchester Historic District. Its strategy is unique in that it relies on historic preservation to achieve economic development. For instance, MCC is currently renovating dozens of foreclosed historic properties to create 19 new units. Previous developments include both affordable and market-rate single dwelling, multi-family, and senior housing.
