“The nice thing about December is when all your work from the whole year all comes together. ”

Beaver County Commissioner Tony Amadio spoke those words during the Commissioners’ regular weekly work session on Wednesday, pointing to a recent trend of a relaxed and easygoing vibe at the Courthouse with most of the major work for the new year–mainly the 2024 budget–taken care of except for the formalities.

One of the major projects of late has been the construction of a new parking lot located between Market Street in Beaver and Courthouse grounds. Public Works director Dan Colville stated that completion of the project is rapidly approaching completion, with final paving slated for Thursday and line painting to be completed Friday and Monday if necessary.

Colville also said that the renovation and repair for the back entrance of the Courthouse is near completion, and that Constellation Services had been contacted for caulking and sealing operations for that area.

Following a brief congratulations and thank you to the borough of New Brighton for holding their Fire And Ice festival successfully this past Saturday, Parks & Recreation director Tony Caltury announced that the Beaver County Kennel Club has entered a five-year agreement with the AKC (American Kennel Club) to host an annual dog show in October. Caltury mentioned that the show will be hosted at the Brady’s Run Recreational Facility, and that the show will feature an estimated 1500 dogs.

The next Commissioners’ work session is scheduled for Wednesday, December 20 at 10:00 AM.
