PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - Move over, Houston. Pittsburgh could be cementing itself as a key player in the next generation of space exploration.

At its annual conference last week, the Keystone Space Collaborative announced plans to build a Space and Innovation District on Pittsburgh's North Side. The new development would be situated on land used as parking lots and owned by the Carnegie Science Center.

"We have the perfect blend of advanced technologies for serious aerospace supplies and technology, said Justine Kasznica, founder of the Collaborative. "There's so much space work being done already in Southwestern Pennsylvania."
