...in related news, Kendall Pelling -- the guy who brought us ELDI and oversaw the gentrification of East Liberty -- is going to be HQ'd in the Wilkinsburg Train Station. That's right, we paid a total of $6.5 million, a lot of that tax dollars, so Kendall Pelling can have a fancy office space. The WCDC promised this ridiculously expensive vanity project would benefit Wilkinsburg. Instead it's benefiting Kendall Pelling and his developer friends.

No. But the wcdc promised something that would benefit the public.

That almost $7 million could have done a lot of good for the borough.
