The Allegheny Institute for Public Policy is a conservative American think tank based in Western Pennsylvania.
Using its expertise in economic development, tax increment financing, and eminent domain, it works with property owners and taxpayers to bring free market solutions to local government.
Unlike many think tanks, it actively promotes its findings by providing this information to local policy makers.
In 1997, its activities contributed substantially to the defeat of a proposed regional tax referendum to fund the construction of sports stadiums.
In 1999 and 2000, the institute publicly stated concerns about the prospect of a merger between Bell Atlantic and GTE.
