Editing Leetsdale, Pennsylvania (section)

==History==
Leetsdale was incorporated on March 28, 1904. Leetsdale at one time had a formidable industrial manufacturing base, with a [[Bethlehem Steel]] mill that closed in the late 1970s. The site of the mill on the shore of the Ohio River is now the Leetsdale Industrial Park, or the Port of Leetsdale, and is home to facilities leased, by The Buncher Company, to a number of companies of varying sizes.<ref>{{cite web|title=Port of Leetsdale|url=http://www.port.pittsburgh.pa.us/index.aspx?page=74|publisher=Port of Pittsburgh Commission|access-date=December 28, 2016}}</ref> The Leetsdale Industrial Park was largely a [[brownfield]] until the 1990s. Today, only a few of the original buildings still stand. In 2022, [[CGI Steel]] and [[Nextracker]] renovated an abandoned steel factory to produce solar tracker equipment.<ref>{{cite web|title= Nextracker and BCI Steel renovate abandoned Pittsburgh steel factory to serve solar market|date= June 28, 2022|url= https://wtov9.com/newsletter-daily/nextracker-and-bci-steel-renovate-abandoned-pittsburgh-steel-factory-to-serve-solar-market|publisher= FOX WTOV9 |access-date=June 28, 2022}}</ref>
