Farm preservation approved
Pa. State Rep. Chris Sainato of New Castle, D-9th, announced that a crop farm in his legislative district has been approved for an easement by the Pennsylvania State Agricultural Land Preservation Board.
The approval on the James R. Trotter Farm No. 2 preserves the 65.91-acre farm in Lawrence County for future generations, and provides a source of funding to allow the family to continue to farm the land and avoid development pressures.
Easements are designed to prevent the conversion of farmland into potential residential development.

The United Way also introduced four new graduates of its Project Blueprint Leadership Training Institute. They are Charlotte Sheffield, Octavia Payne, David Jackson and Michael Gunn.
