The Allegheny Regional Asset District — also known as RAD — on Tuesday kicked off its annual public hearings in which the board of directors hears from funding applicants seeking capital and/or operational funding.
And among those presenting to the board was McKeesport City Administrator Tom Maglicco, who is also the city’s parks and recreation director. He was there to give the city’s pitch as McKeesport is requesting 2023 RAD capital and operational funding for Renziehausen Park, which has been a RAD contractual asset for 28 years.
