Today, we're excited to end this workweek by focusing on the importance of our industrial heritage as we welcome August Carlino, President & CEO - Rivers of Steel Heritage Corporation. August will detail Rivers of Steel’s journey in the aftermath of the collapsed steel industry. In 1988 a group of citizens got together, united by their concerns that with destruction of the shuttered mills an important part of our region’s culture was in danger of being erased, too. Founded on the principles of heritage development, community partnership, and a reverence for the region’s natural and shared resources, August will discuss how Rivers of Steel strengthens the economic and cultural fabric of western Pennsylvania by fostering dynamic initiatives and transformative experiences.
