Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey on Monday announced the city’s chief economic development officer Kyle Chintalapalli and state Rep. Sara Innamorato, D-Lawrenceville, as his appointments to the Urban Redevelopment Authority.

“I am confident that both Kyle and Rep. Innamorato bring a wealth of experience and commitment to my administration’s priority to create an equitable economy for all Pittsburghers,” Gainey said.

Chintalapalli was recently named the city’s chief economic development officer. He previously served as the chief strategy officer for the URA. Most recently, he served as vice president of business and economic development for the Pittsburgh Regional Alliance.
