Statement from Rich Fitzgerald, SPC Executive Director on the Announcement of EOS Energy’s Expansion in Pittsburgh 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 22, 2025

I join the many regional leaders celebrating Governor Shapiro’s announcement that Eos Energy Enterprises is expanding its Southwestern Pennsylvania footprint with a $352 Million investment. We have already seen the tremendous impact Eos has had on the region with its Turtle Creek facility.. By relocating its world headquarters to Pittsburgh and opening a new manufacturing plant in Allegheny County, Eos is telling the world what locals have always known – that Southwestern Pennsylvania is a great place to live, work, and manufacture.

I want to congratulate Governor Shapiro, DCED Secretary Rick Siger, and all the state leaders who were involved in supporting this deal. Their leadership and advocacy for our region has yet again proven fruitful, and we’ll create and retain 1,000 new jobs as a result.

I also want to thank County Executive Innamorato and her Economic Development team led by Lauren Connelly – not only for their record $2M investment in Eos but for their continued advocacy for all of Allegheny County and the larger region. The County and local partners like the Allegheny Conference on Community Development and the Pittsburgh Technology Council, among others, are constantly working to sell our region to the world. They all deserve our gratitude yet again for securing this deal for our region.

Congresswoman Summer Lee has long been a champion of Eos and she and her team worked diligently to secure early support from the Department of Energy. Her advocacy helped bring us to this announcement, and I thank her for yet again following through on her promise to fight for our region.

Lastly, it almost goes without saying that we owe our gratitude to Joe Mastrangelo and the leadership at Eos for believing in Pittsburgh, and for continuing to prove that you can make stuff in America. As Eos relocates its world headquarters to the North Side, we wish our new neighbors continued success. Thank you, Joe, for believing in this region and what we can do together.
