Did You Know....
There are 354,414 residents in Westmoreland County. Of these residents 45,465, roughly 13% are SNAP recipients. The majority of recipients are disabled, elderly or children. The Trump administration on Monday, November 10th, said it still wants the Supreme Court to block lower-court decisions requiring it to pay full food assistance benefits to about 42 million Americans who rely on the nation’s largest anti-hunger program.

Letter of the Week
Protecting Our Local Resources..​
I was pleased to read your 10/28/25 “Data center delay” article. Luckily, the residents of Springdale are coming together to question this proposed development. In southwest PA we are all too familiar with the hazards of industries that exploit our resources and then leave us and the environment polluted, unhealthy, and with only transitory benefits. These data centers consume vast amounts of electricity and water, with a real risk of depleting local available resources, while contributing to pollution and climate disruption.
These centers are central to advance AI, a technology that parts of our country are promoting without fully understanding the consequences or implementing proper safeguards. Prominent AI engineers have called for a pause in the development of this technology until proper oversight and meaningful regulations are implemented.
AI should be developed thoughtfully and responsibly; not with a reckless "full speed ahead” mindset, which often serves only the corporate interests, rather than benefitting the local community.
Thank you, Springdale, for pushing back. We will stand with you.
