Pittsburgh International Airport cut the ribbon on its new $1.7 billion terminal—built for Pittsburghers, by Pittsburghers. The project marks a major milestone ahead of the terminal’s public opening later this fall. More than 300 guests gathered for the celebration, including Gov. Josh Shapiro, U.S. Sen. Dave McCormick, and other local, state, and federal leaders who praised the project’s community impact and vision for the region’s future.
