The PNCIS was part of a team selected to prepare a plan for vacant properties in Pittsburgh's Hill District neighborhood. Our work will involve the collection of parcel-based data in the Hill District, including property assessment, ownership, land use, tax, and sales records to paint a full picture of vacant property in the Hill District. The project will begin in March 2012.
