Irwin, Downtown
Community Park Project

The borough of Irwin was incorporated in 1864 and gets its name from the late Col. Irwin. The quaint town is located on the outskirts of Pittsburgh and has a thriving local economy. Along Irwin's Main St. there are dozen's of unique shops and businesses.
The internship project in Irwin aims to encourage more investment in the downtown by engaging the local community in the re-design and re-construction of a community green space/ small park. Interns working in Irwin will be partnered with a local Community Development Corporation, called The Irwin Project, to plan and implement the project. Interns involved in this project will have the opportunity to live in the community and close to the project site.
