(Beaver, PA) Several topics were discussed at the Beaver County Commissioners’ work session this morning at 10 a.m. at the Beaver County Courthouse in Beaver. One of them was when Beaver County Commissioner Jack Manning brought up during the Commissioners’ report of the work session that the Commissioners “have no direct relations or oversight” with Brighton Rehab and Wellness Center, but they “have been working with the state on various issues related to the residents of Brighton Rehab.” Commissioner Manning addressed this because he received a lot of questions over the holidays about the facility that is located off of Dutch Ridge Road, which was sold in the late part of December to New York based Blue Sky Basin. In other business, during the Department Head Report of the work session, Pamela Hupp, the First Deputy Treasurer for Beaver County Treasurer Sandie Egley stated that the taxes for the county will be going out this Friday and taxes will start to be collected this Monday. Beaver County Controller Maria Longo also mentioned during that same section a few things about the quarterly funding report in the county for the end of 2025, which included about $76 million in for revenue. This was also the first work session for the Commissioners in 2026 and the first one since Beaver County Commissioner Chairman Dan Camp announced at the Beaver Valley Intermediate Unit meeting yesterday that the Commissioners will be committing $1 million to a project to repair New Horizon School. These are county funds and the county will contribute $250,000 per year over the course of four years. Camp told Beaver County Radio that the money will come from reserve funds and he assured that it will not affect taxpayers.
