Beaver County Residents To Get Expanded Services

Pennsylvania agencies will maintain a long term presence in Darlington Township, Beaver County as it relates to the nearby train derailment of a Norfolk Southern train in nearby East Palestine, Ohio. Governor Josh Shapiro’s office announced the plan on Monday. Beginning Thursday March 23 staff from the Department of Agriculture, Department of Environmental Protection and the Department of Health will be on site at the Darlington Township Building every Thursday from noon until 5:00 PM to meet with residents. Commonwealth agency staff and Beaver County staff will be on hand at open houses that will be held Thursday evenings from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM to offer one on one discussions and provide resources and information. Residents will continue to have access to expert staff and ask questions about their health and the health of pets, farm animals and inquire about air, soil and water testing. Resource materials will be available on days when agency officials are not on site.
