North Franklin Township Supervisors held a public hearing on a proposed zoning change regarding the Washington Crown Center Mall. The change would allow a zoning overlay of light industrial to the current commercial zoning for the mall. That would open the mall to more than two dozen other permitted and conditional uses. The reason for the change was brought about by Provider Real Estate Partners who are interested in purchasing the mall and redeveloping it into a mixed-use facility. According to Chris Salata, partner with PREP the zoning would allow such uses as office space, research and development and light industrial work. The developers wanted all light industrial uses to be permitted. Supervisors disagreed on some of those permitted uses. Supervisors held up a vote on approval of the zoning change until the ordinance is redrafted to keep trucking facilities and terminals as conditional use and any personal storage space development at the mall limited to no more than 150,000 square feet. According to Salata, the project size is in the neighborhood of 500,000 square feet and development costs will be in the range of $35 million. Salata says that once approval is obtained, closing could occur in 90-120 days. A special meeting to adopt the ordinance with its changes is scheduled for June 25 at 5:00 pm.

FAYETTE COUNTY, Pa. — (WPXI) – The body of an unidentified woman who died nearly four decades ago has been exhumed in Fayette County to hopefully give closure to the case. Members of Pennsylvania State Police Uniontown and the Fayette County Coroner’s Office exhumed the body Monday morning, according to the Fayette County District Attorney’s Office. The woman died in a traffic crash in Springhill Township in 1986. After being exhumed, the body was taken to the Indiana County Coroner’s Office, officials say. The woman’s DNA will be collected and uploaded to various databases in an effort to determine her identity. “Thank you to Trooper Sigwalt, Coroner Baker and all of the folks involved for their efforts to hopefully bring long-awaited closure to a grieving family,” the district attorney’s office said. According to Pennsylvania State Police, this is the first exhumation in the area in around 10 years. Jane Doe previously had a hair sample collected in 1986, but it was insufficient for analysis.

LONDON (AP) — Chinese state media say that the U.S. and China have agreed in principle on a framework to carry out an agreement they reached on resolving their trade disputes last month. The announcement came at the end of two days of talks Monday and Tuesday in London. The agreement had been shaken by a series of disputes in the ensuing weeks, leading to a phone call last week between President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping to try to calm the waters. The two countries announced May 12 they had agreed to a 90-day suspension of most of the 100%-plus tariffs they had imposed on each other.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles police have swiftly enforced a downtown curfew, making arrests moments after it took effect, deploying officers on horseback and using crowd control projectiles to break up a group of hundreds demonstrating against President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown. Hours after the curfew went into effect Tuesday night, many of the protesters had dispersed, although small sporadic confrontations continued. Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom earlier accused Trump of drawing a “military dragnet” across the nation’s second-largest city with his escalating use of the National Guard. He also deployed Marines, though none were seen on the streets Tuesday. Trump ordered the deployment of nearly 5,000 troops, including National Guard and Marines, to LA.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Protests that sprang up in Los Angeles over immigration enforcement raids are beginning to spread across the country. From Seattle to Austin to Washington, D.C., marchers have chanted slogans, carried signs and snarled traffic through downtown avenues and outside federal offices. While many were peaceful, a few have resulted in clashes with law enforcement as officers made arrests and used chemical irritants to disperse crowds. And activists plan even larger events in the coming days, with “No Kings” events across the country on Saturday to coincide with President Donald Trump’s planned military parade through Washington.
