Ambridge 'flips the switch' on new rooftop solar system

Ambridge is the latest Beaver County site to incorporate solar power into its municipal building. Local leaders flipped the switch officially Nov. 5 on the rooftop system at the municipal complex, facilitated through the Rural Innovation through Solar Empowerment (RISE) project in partnership between nonprofits RiverWise, The PA Solar Center and New Sun Rising to accelerate solar adoption in communities throughout Beaver County. The RISE Project began as a two-year initiative funded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Energizing Rural Communities Prize. EIS Solar of Carnegie installed Ambridge’s 130.9-kilowatt solar system, which was paid for in part by an Environmental Mitigation Community Fund grant. The borough was also able to leverage a 40 percent federal renewable energy tax credit for the project. The solar panels will offset approximately 100 percent of the combined annual energy consumption of the borough facilities at 600 11th St. and 533 Merchant St. EIS Solar estimates the solar array will save Ambridge taxpayers about $509,000 over the next 25 years. “The Borough of Ambridge is delighted to celebrate this milestone with the community and the RISE Project partners,” said Mario Leone Jr., borough manager. “We look forward to reallocating the savings from our electric bill

State penalties against Shell have failed, and a new approach is needed

The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection’s (DEP) $15 million penalty against Shell Polymers in September is an unacceptable response to ongoing pollution violations. It sends a message that the creation of fines – essentially awarding “financial gifts” for community health projects – will curtail unlawful emissions at the plant.

How Allegheny County property taxes are calculated

Allegheny County homeowners can better understand their property tax bills by knowing how assessed values, millage rates and payment deadlines determine what they owe. Property tax bills rely on several figures. The calculation begins with a property's assessed value, which is used with a millage rate to determine the tax owed. Homeowners may see more than one millage rate because Allegheny County, municipalities and school districts can each establish their own rates. Those separate taxes contribute to a property's overall tax burden. Allegheny County property tax payment deadlines Payment timing can affect how much a homeowner owes. For Allegheny County real estate taxes, taxpayers received a 2% discount for paying by March 31. The face amount was due April 30. After that deadline, the county applies a one-time 5% penalty, then 1% interest for each month the bill remains unpaid. Those dates apply to county real estate taxes and should not automatically be used for every property tax bill. Municipalities and school districts can have different collection schedules. How reassessment could affect property taxes Property reassessment adds another factor for Allegheny County homeowners to watch. The county has been using 2012 base-year property values, but a court has ordered a

USW calls on U.S. Steel to get a deal done

United Steelworkers and United States Steel Corp. negotiators are heading back to the bargaining table. And steelworkers say it’s time for the Pittsburgh-based steel and iron ore producer to show movement. Labor contract negotiations between the two sides resumes Friday in Pittsburgh, according to a United Steelworkers (USW) update to its union members who work at U.S. Steel facilities. “As you know, we reached a TA (tentative agreement) with Cliffs last Friday,” the USW said. “USS knows how this process works. They agreed to meet with us on Friday. The company knows they need to move, so this meeting should be productive.” Bernie Hall, a steelworker helping lead negotiations with U.S. Steel, said “it’s highly unlikely” the union will continue negotiations into 2027, according to a Bloomberg Law story. That’s where the new round of negotiations with U.S. Steel become even more interesting. Historically, when one of the two steel and iron ore companies comes to an agreement with the USW, it establishes a pattern for a settlement with the other company. Last week’s tentative agreements with Cliffs, has now set a pattern. The USW said it expects U.S. Steel to respond. “Cliffs set a standard for the industry,” the
