County reports receipt of 2025 community development block grant allocation; local initiatives, food co-op meeting noted
Summary
Beaver County's community development office said it has received its 2025 community development block grant allocation; commissioners also heard brief updates about local farming, Sunday-hunting discussion, and an Aliquippa food co-op meeting.
Beaver County's community development office reported receipt of its 2025 allocation for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program during the June 4 work session.
A community development speaker said, “Community development has received the 20 25 allocations for our block grant funding.” The speaker did not provide dollar amounts or specific project allocations at the session.
Separately, commissioners discussed local agricultural concerns and a state-level proposal to expand Sunday hunting with permission of farmers on private farmland. One commissioner said farmers support expanding Sunday hunting to reduce deer-related crop damage and vehicle collisions, noting that roughly 20% of Beaver County land is pasture or farmland and that crop damage and deer-vehicle collisions are recurring concerns.
Commissioners also noted a Penn State Extension announcement that the Aliquippa Food Co-op will hold a membership meeting on June 16 at Sound of the Aliquippa. No formal county action was taken on CDBG allocation details, Sunday-hunting policy, or the food co-op item during the session.
