After 60 years, Neshaminy Mall historic dioramas saved | Exclusive

Ten minutes. That’s how long it took to rescue the last three pieces of unique historical artwork from imminent destruction in Bucks County on Tuesday. Ten minutes after a week of careful planning, precise measuring and tricky demolition work necessary to free the large window-size dioramas in the now-closed Neshaminy Mall in Bensalem. The displays removed Nov. 10 were the last of seven animatronic dioramas depicting scenes from Colonial life during the American Revolution that were installed nearly 60 years ago as part of an intended permanent exhibit. With demolition of more than half of the mall property scheduled to start next month as part of a major mixed-use redevelopment of the property, Bensalem officials had pledged to save the last and most difficult to remove of the displays. Sally Van Sant Sondesky, founder and former president of the Bensalem Historical Society, was among the handful of onlookers Tuesday who got a close up view as they were removed. The scenes depicted William Penn signing a treaty with the Shackamaxon tribe; Ben Franklin’s 1785 return to Philadelphia from Paris and finally, the 1777-78 hiding of the Liberty Bell in Allentown. “You can’t do that anymore,” Van Sant Sondesky said of

Opioid deaths decline as settlement funds fuel recovery efforts – Bucks Round-Up – November 11, 2026

Opioid deaths decline as settlement funds fuel recovery efforts. Bucks County has seen a substantial decline in opioid-related deaths since the height of the epidemic, with fatalities falling from a record 257 in 2020 to 139 in 2024, according to county figures. The opioid crisis began gaining momentum across the country around 2011, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, but it took several years before the growing number of overdose deaths drew widespread attention from elected officials, law enforcement, families, and community organizations. Bucks County was among the communities hit hard by the epidemic, with the highest numbers of opioid-related overdose deaths occurring between 2016 and 2021. The decline in fatalities in recent years reflects an ongoing effort to expand prevention, treatment, and recovery services. Diane Rosati, executive director of the Bucks County Drug and Alcohol Commission Inc., said the county has put several strategies in place to address the crisis and save lives. “It has been a significant effort in offering programs and services,” she said. “The County developed plans for prevention, treatment, and recovery support programs using opioid settlement funds.” She also pointed to the hiring of an Opioid Settlement Fund project manager to oversee the county’s substantial investment in addressing the epidemic. “It is a very significant multimillion-dollar project over many years and it’s getting the attention it needs,” Rosati said, adding that the county is also working to reduce access to opioids through drug take-back programs and public education. Those efforts include helping residents recognize the warning signs of addiction and providing opportunities to safely dispose of unused prescription medications. Funding from national opioid settlements is expected to play a major role in sustaining those initiatives. Bucks County has received $27,076,428.19 in settlement payments to date. The county is projected to receive approximately $70 million over an eighteen-year period extending through 2038. The funding includes the county’s initial $45 million share of the landmark 2022 agreement with major pharmaceutical companies, along with subsequent settlement expansions.

Pennsylvania's latest energy chapter: Air to fuel

(The Center Square) – Pennsylvania’s longstanding role as a leader in energy production is entering a new chapter with the arrival of a company that is turning air into fuel. AIRCO, formerly Air Company, recently relocated from Brooklyn, N.Y. to Bucks County, Pa., to start a new hub for research, development, engineering, and manufacturing of advanced fuel technologies. Its proprietary AIRMADE technologies convert carbon dioxide into synthetic fuels – including diesel and jet fuel – which the company says could have implications for national security and global fuel supply. Although the facility will produce some fuel, its primary focus is manufacturing its MAD (Mobile, Adaptable, and Dynamic) Fuel Systems, which are designed to produce fuel near the point of use, potentially reducing dependence on vulnerable fuel supply lines. “For over a century, fuel has been produced in centralized refineries and shipped around the world. We’re changing that,” said Gregory Constantine, co-founder and CEO of AIRCO , at a ribbon-cutting event on Oct. 28. “This facility enables us to manufacture autonomous systems that produce fuel anywhere, on demand. It’s a fundamental shift from fuel as a commodity to fuel as infrastructure.” Constantine said they plan to mass manufacture modular e-fuel production
