Billy Porter’s storybook career on stage and screen that started in Pittsbugh now is stoking a new vision for a long-empty building in Homewood.

After the Urban Redevelopment Authority of Pittsburgh first announced Porter’s unsolicited bid for one of its buildings last year , Herky Pollock and Joe King made the first public presentation for Porter’s proposal for the Greater Pittsburgh Coliseum at a Homewood community meeting on Thursday evening, fleshing out the vision for a community center and business incubator in the long-vacant building.

“Billy said he wanted to give something back to Pittsburgh, and this is his vehicle for doing that,” said Pollock, a commercial real estate professional, developer and entrepreneur, who is lead partner on the project with Porter.
