A circular economy would let us use, collect, sort, and recycle or repurpose everyday materials on a large scale, replacing the world of single-use items, from food containers to this season’s fashions to demolished buildings. A new nonprofit organization is tackling this "big, hairy, audacious goal."
The organization's first project is reimagining the 115,000-square-foot former Bishop McDevitt High School in Harrisburg into a mixed-use development featuring housing, retail, community services, and urban agriculture.
Originally built over 130 years ago, this 100,000-square-foot mixed-use commercial space is set to welcome tenants and boost the local economy. The thoughtful and ambitious rehab was a team effort.
Indigenous communities are an important part of Pennsylvania’s past and present. This longstanding organization is a perfect example of how this culture and its people have endured, adapted, and come together.

A simple fix — and a whole lot of teamwork — has made the skies above the city safer for millions of our feathered friends.
Where once they made steel, the forces behind this massive mixed-use project hope to foster innovation and collaboration, building out public spaces, bike lanes, transit, apartments, cutting-edge offices, retail, and waterfront recreation trails. In this episode, we've got an update on Hazelwood Green.
