County spends $1.4 million to expand Neighborhood First – Bucks Round-Up – November 12, 2026

County spends $1.4 million to expand Neighborhood First. Bucks County officials and Bristol Township community members met to mark the growth of Neighborhood First, a program that fosters mentorship, education, and structured activities for at-risk youth. The organization outgrew its original Bath Road facility, prompting the county to help fund a new 2,300-square-foot modular building next door. The expanded space includes staff offices, a classroom, an open programming area and private rooms for educational and skills development. The project also included an expanded parking lot, stormwater improvements, and landscaping. Neighborhood First Executive Director Walter Mims said the expansion is a milestone for an organization that has served local youth for 25 years. County Commissioner Chair Diane Ellis-Marseglia praised the program’s staff for their commitment to young people and their track record of helping students succeed. The project is estimated to cost approximately $1.4 million, funded through several sources, including federal American Rescue Plan Act funds and the Opioid Settlement Fund.

A novel approach to combatting gentrification is working in Kensington

In 2023, J.C. Zerbe, community advocate and acclaimed muralist, welcomed an unusual offer: a spiffy, brand-new space for below-market rent. The offer came from the Kensington Corridor Trust (KCT). Most landlords buy buildings to hold onto them, but KCT buys properties to give them away — rehabbing them and transferring them to community ownership.

SS United States, long docked in Philly, goes under the waves

The formerly Philadelphia-docked SS United States now rests at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico. Why it matters: So ends the vessel's strange odyssey from the United States' largest ocean liner to Philly landmark to world's largest artificial reef . Driving the news: The controlled sinking began Wednesday afternoon roughly 22 nautical miles southwest of Destin-Fort Walton Beach in the Florida Panhandle. The sinking was slow going and stretched on for hours, but it was all over around 10pm when the ship fully disappeared into the water. Zoom in: The SS United States now joins a smorgasbord of other sunken vessels and artificial reefs for divers to explore off the beach. Plus: The ship's iconic red-white-and-blue smokestacks, as well as radar mast and a massive five-blade propeller were removed before the sinking — all of which will be incorporated into a land-based museum for the ship nearby. 👷 How it works: No explosives were used to sink the ship. Instead, crews strategically placed openings in the ship's hull and underwent a controlled flooding, which allowed it to rest in an upright position on the Gulf floor. Several compartments and lower deck areas that were deemed unsafe were also sealed

Philly’s progressive left is plotting a City Council takeover in 2027

On a weeknight in a church basement in North Philadelphia, the talk is not about sermons. It is about who will hold the gavel, the zoning pen, and the power to slow a rent increase. Activists who spent recent cycles winning scattered seats are now speaking in the language of majorities. The phrase Philly progressive Council has begun to circulate among organizers who believe 2027 is the year a loose left coalition can become the dominant bloc on the city’s legislative body. The ambition is early, public, and still untested by a ballot. What is clear is the calendar. Municipal primaries in this city are decided long before posters go up, and the people plotting a takeover know it.
