The annual Beaver County Chamber of Commerce State of the County breakfast happened this morning at the Fez in Hopewell township. Introductory comments were offered by Beaver County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Jack Manning. The meeting included addresses by the three county commissioners. County Commission Chairman Dan Camp pointed to the new casino development happening in Northern Beaver County as the key development that happened in 2018. Tony Amadio echoed Camp’s comments about the casino project, using the word “Jackpot” to describe the fortune of securing such s big project for the county. Amadio touched on the success achieved during his last term in office, with the announcement of the Shell Chemical Cracker plant coming to Beaver County happening at the beginning of the current four year segment, and the casino project just recently announced toward the latter part. Sandie Egley championed her work in helping improve the county’s finances, and implementing new procedures in the courthouse to improve efficiency. One of the big concerns discussed by all three commissioners at this morning’s meeting was the unfunded state mandate to update the county voting machines, estimated to cost around 3 million dollars. Beaver County Radio Sponored the event that was attended by around 200 people.
