Setting a National Example in Community-Driven Governance: The Innamorato Administration’s All in Allegheny Action Plan

It’s uncommon for local governments to act quickly and decisively to meet community needs, but Allegheny County Executive Sara Innamorato is making significant progress since taking office earlier this year. In the first three months of her administration, she engaged 19,000 residents to understand their priorities. Just six months later, the administration has delivered on 91% of the community’s action items, addressing issues such as housing affordability, expanding voting access, and enhancing health-focused crisis response.

 

The Innamorato Administration is setting a national example of what it means to govern in partnership with community. The All in Allegheny Action Plan is the culmination of the largest, most diverse, and inclusive community engagement process in Allegheny County history. In the first two months of Allegheny County Executive Innamorato’s administration, nearly 19,000 residents from every corner of the county engaged with the All In Allegheny Community Survey and over 650 residents joined County Conversations.

 

HR&A is proud to have provided intensive daily project management and strategic guidance to her transition, supported the All In Allegheny community engagement process, and helped create the All In Allegheny Action Plan to guide her Administration. Our work was focused on understanding and delivering on community needs; building a strong and talented team that will help implement bold changes; and understanding the full scope of an office’s budgetary, appointment, and regulatory powers to forge real and meaningful change for communities.

 

We look forward to the Innamorato Administration’s continued work delivering on the action items outlined in the All In Allegheny Action Plan and congratulate them on this significant progress in their first year!
