PITTSBURGH - Gov. Ed Rendell and local leaders are expected to meet again Thursday with the Pittsburgh Penguins as the two sides appear to be getting closer to completing a deal to build a new downtown arena.
The private meeting would be the first since Jan. 4, when Penguins owner Mario Lemieux came away from a preliminary session with Rendell, county and city officials saying he was "very optimistic" that an agreement could be reached.
