Pollinator Garden Project
With the help of Humane Action Pittsburgh, Swissvale Borough is transforming the large, gravel lot at the corner of Edgewood and South Braddock Ave into a native species pollinator garden. Council recently voted to approve a scope of work for the Pollinator Garden Project as negotiated between Humane Action Pittsburgh and Swissvale Borough with costs not to exceed $20,000.00 using Local Share Account (LSA) funds. These grant funds were procured through the work of the Honorable Senator Jay Costa. A proposed site plan and proposed list of expenses can be found below.
