PITTSBURGH – In the latest chapter of a long-standing legal feud between owners of a Sewickley Heights farm and their next-door neighbors, the borough’s mayor and his spouse, the plaintiff seeks compensatory and injunctive relief for alleged instances of trespass, reckless negligence and violation of the state constitution committed by the defendants and members of local police.
Despite the abundance of working farms in Pennsylvania and the popularity of farm weddings, there is a dearth of state specific caselaw where the two intersect. When they do, the legal analysis from a zoning perspective is becoming clear.

The state Department of Environmental Protection yesterday announced more than $34 million in funding for cleaning up stream waters across the commonwealth. $2.7 million of that is earmarked for the southwest portion of the state, and some of it will be put to use in Indiana County. Other funding in neighboring counties could impact streams that flow through Indiana County, and vice versa.
Funds specifically marked for Indiana County include $121,061 for the Conemaugh Valley Conservancy, Kiski-Conemaugh Stream Team Water and Assistance Program. That portion of the funding will also be used in Cambria, Armstrong, Somerset, and Westmoreland counties.
