Shenango Commons replaces Lawrence Village Plaza sign
The 1960s era Lawrence Village Plaza near Ellwood Road is renamed Shenango Commons after a subdivision and ownership buy. The old Lawrence Village sign is removed and a new Shenango Commons sign will be installed once power is connected. A section near Studio 175 will be razed to create a road through the plaza toward the township park, with Studio 175 relocating within the center.

Landowners face solar lease pressure near coal power in Cambria County
In Northern Cambria County, Hay farm owner Bob Davis sits near a coal plant as solar firms seek leases along transmission lines. Davis notes many offers are weak, a view echoed by Ebensburg attorney Paul Eckenrode who calls aggressive buyers flippers. He warns such leases lock land for years and enable later resale by investors, leaving landowners with limited negotiating power.
