PITTSBURGH, January 30, 2026 /3BL/ – The PNC Foundation announced it has contributed a $2 million grant to the City of Pittsburgh to purchase new snow removal equipment.
“Last weekend’s storm was a powerful reminder of how essential it is for our city to be prepared for severe winter weather,” said William S. Demchak, chairman and chief executive officer of PNC. “Pittsburgh deserves strong, reliable snow removal capabilities that keep our neighborhoods safe and our economy moving. PNC is proud to support the city with this investment in equipment that will help keep Pittsburgh and its residents resilient and ready for future storms.”
Following a recent record-setting snowstorm that triggered a state of emergency, the grant will help support the City in Mayor Corey O’Connor’s commitment to investing in the aging citywide fleet by providing new snow removal equipment for the Department of Public Works.
“We’d like to thank the PNC Foundation for this generous donation that will help us purchase 15 vehicles this year for the Department of Public Works,” said Mayor O’Connor. “Our DPW crews work hard and around the clock after snow events and, thanks to our local partnerships like this, will now have over 50 new pieces of reliable equipment. This kind of investment from PNC shows that we’re all in this together and invested in the safety of our crews and our communities.”
