The second basement level of Pittsburgh City Hall.
Under Pennsylvania state law, the Pennsylvania Energy Administration, as a state-level agency, should have its headquarters in the state capital, Harrisburg.
But Leo Wallace felt it was too much trouble.
He didn't want this powerful agency he'd personally created to be out of his sight.
So, on the grounds that it would be easier to coordinate the Computing Power Special Zone project, he set up the Pennsylvania Energy Administration's temporary headquarters right inside his own city hall.
This temporary headquarters had once been a storage room for old office chairs and outdated files.
Now, the clutter had been cleared out into the hallway.
Four second-hand desks, castoffs from other departments, were pushed together, and a huge whiteboard hung on the wall.
This was the birthplace of the Pennsylvania Energy Administration.
Leo Wallace stood in front of the whiteboard, a red marker in his hand.
