City plans upgrades for Zambelli Park in New Castle
City officials say Zambelli Park, named for fireworks history, needs upgrades after concrete foundations settled causing cracks and closures. Councilman David Esposito notes water erosion as the cause and outlines replacing concrete with natural soil and grass while preserving the gazebo and fountain if funding allows. ARPA funds may redevelop the former FirstMerit Bank site, with any leftovers directed to the park.

Opioid board shielded from Pennsylvania open records law
A Spotlight PA review shows the Pennsylvania Opioid Misuse and Addiction Abatement Trust operates outside the Right-to-Know Law, limiting public access to legal bills contracts emails and other records. The exclusion stems from a 2023 Open Records ruling and a court order after a 2022 attorney general request, raising concerns about accountability for hundreds of millions in settlement money.
