(Harrisburg, PA) Older residents living near data centers in Pennsylvania would get a break on their property taxes under a legislative proposal which would require developers of big tech facilities to foot their bills. According to a memo on Wednesday circulated by state Representative Josh Kail, the proposal, which is not yet formal legislation, “would require local communities to levy a special assessment against the owner or operator of a data center to pay the property taxes of all residents over the age of 65.” Kail insisted that there are only three issues surrounding data centers: Energy demands, placement and agreements between developers and local governments to support an area and he said: “Everything else is just noise. Let’s take care of our local communities.”

(New Castle, PA) The Pennsylvania departments of Drug and Alcohol Programs (DDAP) and Aging (PDA) announced the launch of the Shapiro Administration’s new initiative on Wednesday in New Castle to help lower the number of fatal overdoses in older adults in Pennsylvania, which is a number that has increased over the past few years. The agencies are implementing an evidence-based substance use prevention and wellness program that is called the Wellness Initiative for Senior Education (WISE) across four counties with some of the highest rates of overdoses for Pennsylvanians that are 55 and older. The funding to implement the WISE initiative is provided from the “Big Four” opioid settlement, which was the result of a multistate investigation of opioid manufacturers and distributors that was spearheaded by Governor Josh Shapiro when he was Attorney General.
