The Pines is one of my favorite restaurants to visit in Hazleton – I’m excited to see it continue under new ownership just down the street from the downtown office @repwatropa and I share. Congratulations and best wishes!

The Hazleton Integration Project (HIP) is constructing a two-acre nature park on the western perimeter of the city. HIP volunteers have been working to create trails and remove debris from the area. Today, we gathered to celebrate new financial support for this important project from Vistra.
Green spaces are vital for any community, especially larger cities like Hazleton. This new park will provide residents with a new place to walk and enjoy the natural beauty of our region.

The Schuylkill Conservation District was awarded a grant of $280,800 to reclaim abandoned mine land and restore acres of wetlands along the Swatara Creek in Ravine. Once completed, this reclamation project will decrease the number of devastating floods in Pine Grove, Tremont and other downstream communities and reduce pollution.
The project will remove coal refuse along more than 1,500 feet of Swatara Creek, restoring more than 6 acres of wetlands in the area. Renewing the wetlands will provide a safer location for potentially dangerous floodwaters to accumulate in the event of a severe storm.
The decade-long effort to end the destructive flooding along the Swatara Creek is truly a testament to what we can accomplish when we all work together – in this case, a team of conservation experts, municipal officials, local employers, and state legislators and agencies addressed a serious problem that threatened the health and well-being of thousands of people in western Schuylkill County.

@pennstatesl celebrated its 90th anniversary today at its campus in Schuylkill Haven. Penn State President Neeli Bendapudi shared remarks about the power of higher education to change lives and uplift communities.
This campus has had an incredible impact on Schuylkill County and the entire region, teaching students career-defining skills and connecting them with in-demand jobs in our area. They also host a wide variety of community events, including my annual Senator for a Day student government seminar. In the past five years, they have bucked national trends by increasing enrollment.
I’m pleased to see them continue to succeed, despite the serious challenges facing higher education. Congratulations to everyone who has worked to make this campus such a crucial and vibrant part of Schuylkill County.
