CGT Staffing Partners with the Executive Management Committee of the Lower Hill District
CompuGroup Technologies, LLC, widely known as CGT Staffing, has proudly announced a new strategic partnership with the Executive Management Committee (EMC) overseeing the revitalization of the Lower Hill District in Pittsburgh. This partnership is a pivotal step in enhancing not just the infrastructure but also the community’s socio-economic conditions by implementing the Community Collaboration and Implementation Plan (CCIP).
The EMC is composed of key civic leaders, including representatives from the Mayor's Office, Pittsburgh City Council, and local organizations like the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Hill Community Development Corporation (CDC). Their collective vision is to identify a Strategic Project Manager whose responsibility will be to facilitate the CCIP, ensuring the redevelopment efforts align with the needs of residents and local businesses in the Greater Hill District.
The Lower Hill District, a historically significant 28-acre site, has long been deemed crucial for Pittsburgh's development strategy, promising to connect various neighborhoods, cultivate economic transformation, and create job opportunities for the community. The project’s successful realization will emphasize stakeholder engagement and transparent decision-making processes, advisedly influenced by local inputs.
Robert A. James, the Chief Diversity and Strategic Growth Officer at CGT Staffing, expressed his enthusiasm for the project, stating, “As a native of Pittsburgh, I am honored to be involved in such a culturally significant mission. CGT's long-standing relationships with local businesses and our commitment to inclusive practices provide us with a unique opportunity to enhance the CCIP for the Hill District residents.”
To understand the historical context, the Hill District was once a vibrant neighborhood celebrated for its rich cultural tapestry and contributions from notable figures such as playwright August Wilson and singer Lena Horne. Although the area faced various adversities over the decades, the effort today aims to restore its legacy as a hub of innovation, art, and community empowerment.
The newly formed governance framework created by the Strategic Project Manager will prioritize community input, enforcement, accountability, and best practices throughout the ongoing redevelopment processes. The focus on building strong relationships with local residents, business owners, and stakeholders is aimed at ensuring that the redevelopment effectively benefits all involved parties.
This collaborative venture is part of a broader initiative that includes increased investment in public spaces and programs designed to uplift the historically marginalized communities in this region. CGT Staffing's involvement signifies a dedicated approach to human capital development that aligns with the city’s ideals of equitable growth.

As Pittsburgh continues to face the challenges of urban redevelopment, the partnership between CGT Staffing and the EMC represents hope for a more inclusive and revitalized future for the Lower Hill District, ultimately striving to cultivate not just jobs, but bridges between diverse communities throughout Southwestern Pennsylvania.
