Fetterman, for all his efforts, knows he can’t spruce up every home on his own dime. In the long-term, his municipal uplift will require outside creative and economic capital. So, along with hands-on projects, the mayor’s days are spent as Braddock’s ambassador. “We need to get people excited about living in Braddock again,” he says. “For DIY-ers, this town is a dream.” On a typical day, he’ll meet clothing designers and museum honchos interested in what Braddock has to offer. The attention is mostly regional, spurred by articles in local newspapers, the town’s informative website, and Feldman’s outreach lectures.
