Guest: Tim Smith, founder and CEO of Circle of Life
How Topic Discussed: Once a thriving Mon Valley neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Hazelwood has struggled since the closure of the J&L Steel plant that was its livelihood. What challenges have residents faced? What are the biggest areas of need today? How is a non-profit called Circle of Life helping to uplift the neighborhood? When was it founded? What is its mission? How will a grant from the Heinz Endowments enable Circle of Life to grow its service and create a new gateway to the Hazelwood central business district? Why does music play a large role in Circle of Life's uplift?
