For some, the pay-by-license plate parking meters located throughout the city are a hassle. But to Norman V. Edmunds they are a joy. Recently his company, Pittsburgh Restoration and Construction Services Inc. had the contract to install the state-of –the art technology meters for the Pittsburgh Parking Authority.
The product of a lineage of entrepreneurs, he knows the significance of having contracts with organizations and companies as significant as city, county, public and private entities.
“My grandfather, father, mother and sister operated businesses,” he said. His grandfather and father owned limousine businesses, his mother Queenie was a well-known seamstress in the Pittsburgh and Washington, D.C. areas and his sister along with a friend Michelle Goodman operated Try Me Boutique in the Mexican War Street community on the North Side.
“Growing up in D.C., I was exposed to all types of entrepreneurs and professionals and worked in the U.S. Senate when I was in the 10th grade,” Edmunds pointed out. “Those experiences molded me to want to be a business man. I’ve wanted to be an entrepreneur since I was eight years old.”
