"BEAVER COUNTY CHAMBER CALLS FOR QUICK AND SAFE ROAD REPAIRS" A devastating landslide closed a segment of State Route 51 and nearby roads in Fallston, disrupting traffic in that area for the foreseeable future and limiting access to business establishments in the vicinity. The Beaver County Chamber of Commerce is urging residents to rally behind our local businesses. Even if the detour is circuitous, your patronage can make a significant difference in helping these small businesses overcome a challenging period. As the extent of the damage is being evaluated, the Chamber calls for swift and durable repair of the affected roadways. This isn’t the first, nor will it be the last landslide in western Pennsylvania, but our federal, state and local governments must be prepared to quickly get critical routes back in service. The Chamber advocates on behalf of our members for a business climate and quality of life conducive to prosperity.

Pls s/s. Of course we knew, Con Ford, stole the land he campaigned on saving, and his greedy friends were the profiteers. This must be reversed, all monies returned, and the greenbelt left, as it was supposed to be. All Party Leaders who outright do not tell the truth, need ousted. They should be given one year to enact their promises, to get themselves elected, or a new election must be brought forth, not allowing the one, on which the election was called, to re-enter the race. We need to get our house in order, and have integral, truthful, moral government in place. This garbage has been allowed to grow into a montrous corrupt, business. Government is to protect, and do the RIGHT deeds for the people. Not, as they please. They are civil servants to serve the public, not their friends, family, and corrupt business. Take back what is ours. Stand up for yourselves, and our people, lands, waterways, wildlife, and anything else, that lets ecosystems thrive. https://lnkd.in/gTkY8P3v
