PA Auctions Off Former Rockview Items

A wide array of surplus items from the recently shuttered Rockview State Prison in Centre County, has officially hit the auction block, even as the ultimate fate of the facility’s thousands of acres of valuable real estate remains fiercely contested. The online liquidation, hosted on the Pennsylvania Department of General Services website, features everything from industrial power tools and office desks to a prison basketball hoop. Following the closure of the historic Centre County institution, the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections conducted a comprehensive inventory of the prison’s assets. State officials prioritized transferring reusable equipment to neighboring facilities, including the nearby SCI Benner Township, before handing the remaining surplus over to General Services for public sale. The sale comes amid a total standstill regarding the future of the massive state-owned footprint. While a portion of the property has already been earmarked for absorption by SCI Benner, the destiny of the remaining thousands of acres is fueling intense local speculation. Area stakeholders view the site as a premier development opportunity. Local real estate experts have described the vacant expanse as potentially the most valuable piece of real estate in the Commonwealth, comparing the open acreage to a “clean canvas” for future builders and planners.

I-80 eastbound on-ramp at Bellefonte to stay closed into late November

Bellefonte, Pa. — The Interstate 80 eastbound on-ramp at Exit 161 in Bellefonte, closed since Oct. 12, will stay closed until the third week of November, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said. PennDOT had expected the contractor on the I-80/I-99 High-Speed Interchange project to reopen the ramp by the end of October, but the reopening was delayed because of unforeseen circumstances, according to the department. While the ramp remains closed, traffic on Interstate 99 heading to I-80 eastbound will take Jacksonville Road to the westbound on-ramp at Exit 161 and follow the detour back to I-80 eastbound at Milesburg. The closure was put in place to prepare for directing traffic onto the newly completed bridge over Jacksonville Road, PennDOT said. The High-Speed Interchange will provide a direct connection between the two interstates, so drivers will no longer have to travel along Route 26 to reach them. Work includes building the interchange, 10 bridges, four retaining walls, five box culverts, seven sign structures and three changeable message boards, along with new and rebuilt roadways and ramps, drainage, lighting and stream improvements. Trumbull Corp. of Pittsburgh is the contractor on the $259 million project, which is expected to continue through the next

New Jersey Retirees Can Look To This Tax-Friendly Neighboring State With Vibrant Culture And Mountains

After decades of working, raising families, and paying the bills, many Americans are eager to retire. For some, moving to a warmer climate is a priority, while others want to stretch their savings or relocate closer to loved ones. And in the Northeast, where property taxes and the cost of living can take a big chunk out of a nest egg or be unrealistic for retirees living on a fixed income, sometimes just crossing the state line can make all the difference.
