Local officials announced today the arrival of a White House advance team that will tour the David L. Lawrence Convention Center, the Pittsburgh International Airport, and other sites tomorrow in preparation for the September G20 Summit.
Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl and Allegheny County Executive Dan Onorato say they will not accompany the team, but rather make their own tours of downtown and the airport corridor, respectively, on Thursday.
They say updates will be given weekly for the next two months to keep locals up to speed on the G20 developments.
G20 Partnership member Bill Flanagan, of the Allegheny Conference on Community Development, says a contingency plan will also be started next week, to help businesses deal with traffic and security issues during the summit.
Ravenstahl also proclaimed September “Pittsburgh G20 Month.”
