She regularly handles issues involving public-private partnerships, and transportation issues including highway occupancy permits. Dusty is an acknowledged authority on urban mixed use development, demonstrated by landmark efforts to redevelop large parcels in Pittsburgh and Allentown, Pennsylvania.

Dusty counsels her clients on an array of sustainability issues that impact development projects and facilities, including advice on sustainable development matters such as the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system, and regulatory compliance matters such as greenhouse gas emission regulations, obtaining other regulatory approvals, negotiating complex contractual arrangements, resolving disputes, and managing risk avoidance.
