McKees Rocks is on the rise.

Five minutes from downtown Pittsburgh, on a mile of Ohio River waterfront, a
working river town is rebuilding itself — one storefront, one stage, one front
door at a time. New apartments, a restored 1,400-seat music hall, a revitalized
Main Street, and millions in new investment are turning decades of grit into real
momentum.

And there’s room for you in it.
