PITTSBURGH — Officials and business leaders celebrated the official opening of the Digital Foundry at New Kensington on June 1 with a ceremony and reception event that also offered public tours of the new space.

The more than 15,000-square-foot facility is hoping to serve as a digital innovation and manufacturing lab space in the heart of downtown New Kensington and is now open to local manufacturers, K-12 school districts, college students, entrepreneurs, businesses and others.

To help get it launched back in October 2020, the Digital Foundry received a $5.5 million grant from the Richard King Mellon Foundation, among other investments. Its existence today is also the result of a partnership between Penn State New Kensington and the Westmoreland County Economic Growth Connection.
