PITTSBURGH — With a national and international stage on the 2026 NFL Draft, Gov. Josh Shapiro’s prediction is bigger and longer-lasting victories will be in the Pittsburgh region’s future long after the hundreds of thousands of visitors leave for home.
In an interview in the midst of the NFL Draft events, Shapiro predicted good things ahead, thanks to the efforts of his administration and local and state economic development officials. That will be due to the efforts they and key members of the corporate community made in welcoming high-powered executives to Pittsburgh during the Draft.
“As a result, the CEOs coming here for the first time to Pittsburgh, you will see them place bets on Pittsburgh. You will see them invest in Pittsburgh,” Shapiro said.
