Penn Hills officials spoke Monday night about how they’d like to spend an $18 million gift from the federal government.
The money is coming from the $1.9 trillion covid relief bill, known as the American Rescue Plan, recently signed into law.
U.S. Rep. Conor Lamb, D-Mt. Lebanon, announced Penn Hills’ portion of the bill during a meeting with officials March 26.
Penn Hills Manager Scott Andrejchak said during an agenda-setting meeting Monday that the first half of the $18 million will be coming to the municipality as early as May. The rest of the money will be disbursed around this time next year, he said.
Only 13 areas of Dorset with active Covid-19 cases ONLY 13 areas of Dorset are reporting active coronavirus cases as the spread of Covid-19 continues to fall across the county. An interactive map, which uses Public Health England data, shows how many people have tested positive for the virus in each area of the county over the seven-day period up to Sunday, April 4. Public Health England breaks down the numbers of coronavirus cases into neighbourhoods called Middle Super Output Areas (MSOAs), which are smaller than council wards and based on population rather than geographical area.
The interactive map, which can be found through this link, allows users to type in their postcode and see how many cases were reported in their area and if it has increased or decreased from the week before. The darker the colour on the image, the more positive test results have been recorded.

UK SHOULD SLOW DOWN JABS AS SAFETY PROBED
Dr Maggie Wearmouth, who sits on the JCVI, has today called for Oxford jabs in the under-50s to be paused while blood clot links are probed.
She told the Telegraph: The issue is about safety and public confidence. We don t want to cover anything up that we feel that the public should be knowing. We don t want people to lose confidence and the vaccine to stay in fridges. But we don t want people to feel they have been falsely reassured either.
