Julia Chane, program manager of the South Mountain Partnership, described the partnership as a regional conservation network working with more than 60 local, state and federal partners, nonprofits, businesses and academic institutions. Chane said the Camp Tuckahoe acquisition, finalized in December 2024, was funded with a mix of sources including Cumberland County American Rescue Plan funds, York County's Open Space and Land Preservation Program, the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR), the Keystone Recreation, Park and Conservation Fund, The Nature Conservancy, the Appalachian Trail Conservancy Wild East Action Fund and the Central Pennsylvania Conservancy.

\"Nestled in the heart of the South Mountain conservation landscape, Camp Tuckahoe now anchors a core of conserved land totaling over 3,000 acres,\" Chane said, and she described the multi-year acquisition process that began in 2021. She said the conserved acreage around the Boy Scouts' wilderness camp will transfer from the Central Pennsylvania Conservancy to DCNR's Bureau of Forestry for long-term management as part of Michaux State Forest and is expected to open for public recreation in the fall or winter for hiking, hunting and biking, with parking access and connections to nearby public lands including the Appalachian National Scenic Trail.

Chane and other speakers said the conserved land will protect habitat, strengthen forest resilience, conserve headwaters for Dogwood Run (a tributary of the Yellow Breeches Creek), and provide recreational opportunities for northwestern York County residents and visitors. The South Mountain Partnership presented the \"Spirit of South Mountain\" award to acknowledge Cumberland County, DCNR, the Central Pennsylvania Conservancy and York County for the work.

A local artist, Patricia Nudeck, created the award tile, and the wooden base is made from what speakers described as \"storied wood\" from a location called Camp Michaux. Commissioners accepted the award and posed for photographs with project partners after the meeting.

No county vote or new funding appropriation was recorded in the public transcript; presenters described the acquisition as completed and the planned transfer of stewardship to DCNR's Bureau of Forestry.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","York County PA Commissioners Meeting 9/17/2025","oneSentenceSummary","The South Mountain Partnership presented York County with an award recognizing the county's role in a multi-party effort that conserved about 900 acres around Camp Tuckahoe; the land will transfer to the Pennsylvania DCNR Bureau of Forestry for long-term management as part of Michaux State Forest.","taxTitle","York County, Pennsylvania","taxId",4890,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},5979784,"York County proclaims September 2025 Suicide Prevention Awareness Month; local advocate shares daughter's story",273,523000,796000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5810799-0ef4393fbed95b13579bbf4d8b962179&start=523&end=796","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5810799-0ef4393fbed95b13579bbf4d8b962179/thumbnail_523000.jpg","/articles/5979784/York-County/Pennsylvania/York-County-proclaims-September-2025-Suicide-Prevention-Awareness-Month-local-advocate-shares-daughters-story","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5979784-0d851aa828ecfba602eb11b49b108d44/orig.mp4?Expires=1775423330&Signature=MTNhx~nR70LuKOSbBsmayUzyhJ9VLMSo9l7nywSSkbWzDVuYm4t5swuFWp6F-LdD6hkCsoCrGirlOuGi3GcDC1iCkYxWXcs~eOEvDr6yPTJofLzGXTZzNWejCAzfsunmX31zwdArS7Z7f3fUI71fiy91prXYlH9LFYgf-JjksWJ739S9bkxugwrv8jSodYcUIwLOYh8FU2VY3IQK8GnImnxtba71~5vteRFW11oLkhnc67zaj7nubXVhVO97SXOEj2OtjKpI6OdmcIj-pQDf4sSOLkm16ZFL3FFLQfdlN4lD8RwVYmd9BJCaJ0hkgld53RDFx0XNXg1mFxq6~bGojA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","York County commissioners on Sept. 17 read a proclamation declaring September 2025 as Suicide Prevention Awareness Month and heard comments from a local advocate who lost his 15-year-old daughter to suicide.

Vice President Mr. Burford read the proclamation into the record, citing national and state statistics and local counts. The proclamation stated that \"in 02/2023, suicide was the fourth leading cause of death among individuals between the ages of 10 through 14,\" and listed leading-cause rankings for other age groups in Pennsylvania. It also said that \"in The United States, 1 in 20 adults have serious thoughts of suicide each year, and 1 person dies by suicide every 11 minutes.\" The proclamation listed York County figures, stating that there were 74 \"pseudo suicide deaths\" in 2024 and 45 deaths year to date in 02/2025.

After the proclamation, Matt Dorgan, representing Building Bridges for Brianna, addressed the commissioners and audience. \"350. That's how many people we lost in your county to suicide since 12/03/2020,\" Dorgan said, explaining he chose that date because it is the day he lost his daughter. He described Brianna as \"smart, loving, and caring,\" and said his group formed Building Bridges for Brianna to connect people who need help with those who can provide it. \"Mental health is not taboo. It's not a weakness. It's life. It's survival,\" he said. \"If we can save 1 life, we are doing our job, and then we move on to the next.\"

The proclamation also recognized county mental-health agencies, community groups and stakeholders, and urged residents to \"open the dialogue\" and help eliminate the stigma associated with mental illness. Commissioners noted the presence of county employees and local advocates, including representatives from NAMI, and encouraged visible support for the cause; later in the meeting a commissioner suggested wearing purple as a simple way to show support for suicide prevention.

The proclamation was entered into the meeting record; no separate roll-call vote was recorded in the public transcript. Presenters and commissioners emphasized community partnerships and awareness-raising as central elements of local suicide prevention efforts.","York County commissioners read a proclamation declaring September 2025 Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, cited state and national suicide statistics and local death counts, and heard from Matt Dorgan of Building Bridges for Brianna about his daughter's death and advocacy work.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},5979788,"York County adopts consent items that include resolution for up to $400 million WellSpan conduit bond",304,172000,476000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5810799-0ef4393fbed95b13579bbf4d8b962179&start=172&end=476","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5810799-0ef4393fbed95b13579bbf4d8b962179/thumbnail_172000.jpg","/articles/5979788/York-County/Pennsylvania/York-County-adopts-consent-items-that-include-resolution-for-up-to-400-million-WellSpan-conduit-bond","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5979788-268c8183c9bcff1836c03b60095e7adb/orig.mp4?Expires=1775423330&Signature=AXTHIeDLbC13rKR9J0Tw~FjamwNf~YUFQmWLUGRpj4yndGUwmk0NaTC3uZBERuPuG~pfNqe3mfHbgZx1ZmAamPGI90~lIvAhVyOpHB3br01GDXrYrpGCcHfH23JzDaPVvko4SCHHX5knRPzjyghd4NNgomW4Q~obRofLAVkEdtItRWEe67Brb~2wd7yDKHp0RBuUDTFkeyEa4cq391Jo9PHlapDE9gfhpssY68pQP8o9lMo3sz9XyonxvS3n1EdAyPNz-ehcDaeK8HNFw7hiYfvk2PdQVliSCAnXdXYyY15wGqLBM0PX8tNiIDzNGq9HA-A-~4mj9QrObGFamwDOjw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","York County commissioners on Sept. 17 approved consent items that included a resolution authorizing a conduit bond issue of up to $400 million on behalf of WellSpan Health to support expansion projects at the health system's York campus, presenters said.

The resolution, presented during the meeting's public portion, would permit the South Central Pennsylvania General Authority to issue tax-exempt conduit debt for projects at the York campus. Kenneth Hansen, with the York County Economic Alliance and representing the general authority, told commissioners the authority had advertised and held a public hearing before the meeting \"pursuant to federal law\" and received no adverse comments.

The bond proceeds will be used for work on an eight-story surgical and critical-care tower that WellSpan officials said is part of a broader campus expansion. Andrew Walker, senior vice president of finance and treasury at WellSpan Health, described the project as a $427,000,000 effort that will add intensive-care capacity and modernize operating rooms. \"We finished our last topping out ceremony yesterday. Very proud about that. $427,000,000 project underway,\" Walker said. He said the expansion is planned to add 72 new intensive-care unit beds, 21 modernized operating rooms and expand the campus to more than 600 beds, with occupancy expected in 2027 or 2028.

Commissioners and presenters discussed financing details. When asked about the difference between the $400 million bond authority in the resolution and the $427 million project cost, Walker said WellSpan will use excess cash on hand to cover the gap. \"We're carrying excess cash to fund that difference, and we're trying to be good stewards and continue to defend and maintain our balance sheet. So we'll make up the difference in the funding,\" he said. Walker also said the system is targeting bonds in the four- to seven-year yield range and that the team will monitor Federal Reserve actions.

The commissioners approved a motion to adopt agenda items 1 through 35 by voice vote; agenda item 8, the WellSpan resolution, was included among those items. The record shows the general authority presenters indicated the conduit debt being proposed would be nonrecourse to both the authority and the county.

No formal roll-call vote specifically on the WellSpan bond was recorded separately in the meeting transcript; the resolution was part of the consent items the board adopted. Presenters said they had conducted the statutorily required public notice and hearing and reported no adverse public comments during the hearing prior to the meeting.

The county record does not include further conditions, specific pricing, or final closing dates for the proposed bonds in the public portion of the transcript. WellSpan officials said they expect construction to continue through 2027–2028 and that the project will create new jobs; Walker said the expansion is projected to add about 500 jobs to the region.","York County commissioners approved consent items on Sept. 17 that included a resolution authorizing a conduit bond issue of up to $400 million on behalf of WellSpan Health to help finance a large expansion of its York hospital campus.","actionData","errors"]
