Williamsport ranks second in Pa. cities where young adults want to build careers at home

Williamsport, Pa. — More than half of young Pennsylvanians say they want to stay in or return to their hometowns to build careers, according to a new survey, with Williamsport ranking second statewide among cities where that commitment is strongest. A resume.io survey of 3,052 adults ages 18–35 found that 51% of young Pennsylvanians are committed to putting down professional roots in their hometowns. Family ties and lower costs of living topped the list of reasons, and those willing to accept lower pay to stay local said they would take an average 10.5% salary cut. The survey ranked cities by the number of respondents who said they planned to stay or return, with a minimum of 50 responses per city. The top three Pennsylvania cities were: ErieWilliamsportAltoona In Williamsport, technical education and manufacturing support skilled careers in the region.

Proposed 2027 State College Budget Includes Real Estate Tax Increase

State College Borough is poised to raise its property tax for a third consecutive year. The borough's proposed 2027 budget includes a three-mill tax increase, a 12% hike that would bring State College's total millage to 27.88 mills. The tax increase, which is one mill more than that implemented for 2026, is part of a $72.2 million fiscal plan presented on Friday afternoon as Borough Council began its weeks-long budget review. For a home with a present-day market value of $300,000 and no homestead exclusion, the increase would equal $147.54 for the year, while with the exclusion it would be $72.54. For a property with a $500,000 market without the homestead exclusion it would mean an additional $245.90, or $170.90 with the homestead exclusion. The increase would generate $1,821,063 in new recurring revenue for a borough budget that remains structurally unbalanced for the seventh consecutive year. The total proposed budget includes $72,249,482 in expenditures — which is only $12,742 more than the approved 2026 budget — with revenue of $62,357,539, about $1.8 million more than 2026. It uses $9,891,943 of fund balances, as is typical. Within the overall budget, the general fund budget, which more directly represents current expenses and
