2024 Budget Proposal
Ed Gainey released his administration's 2024 budget proposal on September 29th 2023; the total being 155.5 million. The proposal calls for no new projects but instead is focused on completing the backlogged city projects. The proposal contains provisions to quadruple the funding allocated to bridge management as well as a 136% increase in traffic relieving amenities. The 2024 Pittsburgh budget has opened criticism to Gainey due to the tight margins the city will face in the following years of 2025-2026, as the city’s revenue is only 3 million above expected expenditures for those years.

Appointments
During his time in office Gainey has appointed two people to the Urban redevelopment Authority of Pittsburgh; Chief economic development officer Kyle Chintalapalli and State representative Sara Innamorato. Also he has appointed Olga George to his personal office as his press secretary. He has made nominations for the Commission on Infrastructure Asset Reporting and Investment as well, however they are still pending as the commission fully vet the nominees.
