Today's Braddock is a town on a tremendous upswing—honoring its past while energetically shaping the future.

The town is home to dozens of local businesses, large and small, growing the economy and employing local residents.

There's plenty to do here—come see for yourself!

As more people—here and across the country—recognize the area's amazing history and great potential, major projects are being developed, such as:
