A multimillion-dollar facelift for the Washington Road business district represents “an investment in our collective future.”

The amendment, which now goes to the Mt. Lebanon Commission for final approval, would allow for townhouses in the R-7 zoning district.

Mt. Lebanon has been designated a recognized Keystone Main Street in Pennsylvania.

Different approaches are being explored with the goal toward making the Washington Road corridor more vibrant by encouraging certain types of businesses.

Borrowing $5 million at what looks to be a favorable interest rate will allow the municipality to proceed with capital improvements.

Admirers of the series of planter boxes along Washington Road in Mt. Lebanon may not realize who cares for them.

An amendment to the zoning ordinance would limit uses for first-floor commercial spaces along Washington Road.

Planned improvements for Washington Road and its central business district have been bolstered by a $750,000 grant.
