(Beaver Falls, Pa.) Pa. State Representative (10th District) Aaron Bernstine joined Frank Sparks on Teleforum Friday, April 3, 2020.

Bernstine talked about a project he has been working on with Ellwood City Borough, The US Army Corp of Engineers, PEMA and others. The Group has been exploring whether the former Ellwood City Hospital could be used as a medical facility to help with the overload on the health system with the current COVI-19 Pandemic. Bernstine said that Ellwood City Borough Manager David Allen and Mayor Tony Court have gone above and beyond the call of duty to get the project off of the ground. He said the Army Corp of Engineers gained access to the facility earlier this week and have written a report to give to PEMA. If approved and the facility is going to be used it could be up and running in  a matter of weeks.

Rep. Bernstine also talked about the the issue of people trying to file for unemployment and what they should do. he also addressed the recent crash of their web-site and told the listeners to be patient that once they file it’s been taking around 10 to 14 days to receive a PIN.
