Development Sites
McKees Rocks offers a rare range of development opportunities in one compact, well-connected community — from Main Street storefronts to large-scale industrial land, all minutes from downtown Pittsburgh.
Downtown Development
A compact, walkable Main Street on Chartiers Avenue, between Stanhope Street and Island Avenue. The CDC owns or controls key properties here, guided by community-backed development standards, with anchor businesses and a restored theatre already drawing foot traffic.
Industrial Development
The Rocks Industrial Park — a flat, remediated 52-acre former P&LE Railroad brownfield five miles west of downtown, within the Ohio River Towns Enterprise Zone, anchored by a CSX intermodal facility. Heavy-industrial-ready, with potential for wholesale, office, warehouse, and manufacturing uses.
New Town
A holistic, mixed-use vision for a prominent gateway site at the end of West Carson Street — one of the most visible entrances to the community — developed with partners and grounded in resident input.
