On the Friday edition of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette real estate and development reporter Maddy Rubin to get the scoop on preparations by the Steelers and the city of Pittsburgh to serve as hosts for the NFL draft in just under 100 days. What will the physical footprint of the draft look like when spread between the North Shore and Point State Park? What are the taxpayers costs for the event, and how are mayor Corey O'Connor, Gov. Josh Shapiro and city and county officials addressing them? What's the latest on the redevelopment of Market Square and the Cultural District ahead of the event? And how are the hotel and short-term rental markets handling the expected influx of 500,000 to 700,000 fans expected to see names like Fernando Mendoza, Jeremiyah Love and Caleb Downs selected to their next teams? Our duo tackles those questions and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
