About the Pavilion
Place based strategy to create a district around Pittsburgh Special-T Dairy (formerly Colteryahn Dairy), an important asset in the Carrick neighborhood. Project includes the Historic Dairy District Market Place, home to the Citiparks Farmer’s market and other community events.
In 2021 25 Carrick Ave Project/Tech25/Hearcorp will take over ownership of the Dairy District Pavilion, renaming it The CARRICK COMMUNITY PAVILION. Our plan is to continue programming such as the weekly Farmers Market, Flea Market and continue to make upgrades to the space including providing the community with a free wi-fi hotspot, interactive art installations, hosting community movie nights, block parties, and concerts.

HISTORY
The Historic Dairy District Marketplace is an early phase project to fulfill the vision of a catalytic, place-based strategy to highlight Pittsburgh Special-T Dairy, an important asset in the Carrick neighborhood.
Background
Former Colteryahn Dairy, now Pittsburgh Special-T Dairy, is the last remaining dairy manufacturer in the City of Pittsburgh. Building off this asset, the Carrick community is aiming to create a dairy themed district along Brownsville Road.
URA Support
The URA provided a $150,000 grant to Economic Development South (EDS), a local community development corporation, to assist in the acquisition of the strategically located site on Brownsville Road in the Carrick neighborhood.
Results
The URA funding facilitated the construction of the Historic Dairy District Marketplace. The flexible community-owned space is now home to the Citiparks Farmers’ Market and hosts a variety of neighborhood events, from food truck roundups to maker events. The multipurpose outdoor amenity has energized a farmers market that was losing both vendors and foot traffic prior to its relocation to the visible Brownsville Road corner.
