Jim McCarville, Executive Director of the Port of Pittsburgh Commission, provided insight into the many advantages of connecting with assets and possibilities along within the Port of Pittsburgh. As a major source of jobs, commodities and recreation, our rivers are a valuable component of the continued growth of the region. The Commission is currently developing a wifi system to enhance communications between services along our three rivers.

We extend our gratitude to Mr. McCarville and The Port of Pittsburgh Commission for the opportunity to bring the valuable and exciting Monongahela River community to the area’s students and teachers.
