Downtown Pittsburgh housing demand is growing, but turning offices into apartments remains a challenge

Apartments in Pittsburgh’s Golden Triangle are filling up, but data from the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership suggests adding more housing could be a challenge.

Bellefonte Rally Celebrates Election Results, Calls for Follow-Through on Campaign Promises

What started as a planned rally to protect election results against potential challenges turned into a celebration Saturday morning, as about 18 local residents gathered outside the Centre County Courthouse in Bellefonte following Tuesday's election. The gathering was one of more than 10 rallies planned across Pennsylvania, with organizers celebrating the results while calling on elected officials to follow through on promises to working families. Robert Zeigler, an organizer with Central PA United, said the rally was originally planned because of concerns that the election results might be challenged. But after strong voter participation and an election process he said went smoothly, organizers decided to shift the focus. Zeigler credited poll workers, election observers, volunteers and voters for helping make that possible. "Just because a certain political party has won doesn't mean that you can't hold them accountable," Zeigler said. Tuesday's election gave Democrats a projected 26–24 majority in the Pennsylvania Senate . The party also retained and expanded its majority in the state House, while Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro won reelection over Republican Stacy Garrity. Maren Larsn speaks at a rally celebrating 2026 election results on Saturday, Nov. 7, 2026, in front of the Centre County Courthouse in Bellefonte.

Will real estate taxes increase again in State College? Here is what's proposed

Weeks of discussion remain until State College borough’s 2027 budget is formally adopted but, during an informational council work session Friday afternoon, senior borough staff presented a proposed budget that would include a steeper real estate tax increase than the last one. Staff proposed a three-mill tax increase, which means homeowners would pay about 12% more next year. In other words, a home with a current market value of $500,000 would see an annual bill that amounts to $245.90 more than before — while those with homestead exemptions would instead pay $170.90 more than before. “We are proposing a three-mill tax increase just because we’re unstructurally balanced, and we need to move toward achieving that,” finance director Dwight Miller told borough council during the public work session, as passing the budget ultimately rests with council. The borough’s General Fund is about $2 million out of balance, and the proposed real estate tax increase would be expected to raise a little more than $1.8 million. But, again, State College borough remains weeks away from any proposal becoming a reality. At this time last year, an eight-mill tax increase was proposed before council directed senior borough staff to find alternatives . They
