The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust announced Thursday it would delay indefinitely a $500 million project to revitalize Downtown with a neighborhood of shops, restaurants and residential units.Cultural Trust officials cited the volatile economy, especially in the credit and mortgage industry, for the change in plans.
