Penn State Shenango campus closure eyed in regional realignment
State Sen. Michele Brooks and Penn State officials discuss repurposing the Sharon area campus amid enrollment declines. The report cites Shenango’s 309 students, a 68 percent drop since 2004, and a $2.8 million loss in 2023-24, with DuBois and Greater Allegheny facing larger losses while DuBois closes. Proposed plans include housing, technology schooling, and multi family dwellings under local control.
