(Beaver County, PA) Three Beaver County community projects were recently awarded a total of $237,500 by the state Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) to encourage outdoor recreation in those Pennsylvania municipalities. The Commonwealth Financing Authority awarded the grants on behalf of the DCED’s Greenways, Trails and Recreation Grant program, which distributes funds from gas well impact fees that are unconventional under the Act 13 of 2012 Marcellus Legacy fund. According to Ambridge Borough Manager Mario Leone, Ambridge received a $42,000 grant to fund a feasibility study for its future wellness and recreation center. The borough of Ambridge is planning to build a wellness and recreation center on a former steel mill brownfield site that is along New Economy Drive. The grant application for Center Township confirms that it received $120,500 to construct a 2,400-square-foot pavilion at Center Municipal Park, which will add another outdoor gathering area that will also serve as a central location for events in that community. Construction on that pavilion should start this summer and will be completed by this winter. Monaca also received $75,000 towards its phase two upgrades at John A. Antoline Memorial Park, which is intended to offer its residents more options for outdoor recreation. According to Monaca Borough Manager David Kramer, this new project includes the addition of both a pavilion and the two bocce ball courts as well as the installation of new fencing both along the hillside area of the park and around the new pickleball and basketball courts of the park.

(Bradenton, FL) The Pittsburgh Pirates designated outfielder Jack Suwinski for assignment today, as the team held its first full-team workout at spring training in Bradenton, Florida. The move clears a roster spot for veteran slugger Marcell Ozuna, who signed a one-year deal with the Pirates with a mutual option for the 2027 season. The 27-year-old Suwinski slashed .147/.281/.253 with an OPS of .534 last year, as well as hitting three home runs while striking out 57 times in 150 at bats. Suwinski started that season on the opening day roster for the Pirates, but played in only 59 games and had two stints at Triple-A Indianapolis. Suwinski has struggled at the plate after hitting 19 home runs as a rookie in 2022, and 26 the following season.
