North Central PA Regional Planning and Development Commission Seeking Input on Broadband Through Community Meeting
Feedback collected will support Pennsylvania’s broadband expansion planning efforts
Ridgway, PA (July 6, 2023) – The North Central PA Regional Planning and Development Commission today announced a meeting to engage the community in discussions about broadband use and experiences. The meeting will also provide information about the Commonwealth’s work to develop an action plan to ensure equitable, affordable broadband access for all residents, businesses, and communities.
Those interested in participating are invited to join the meeting scheduled for July 20th, 2023, from 10am – 11:30am at the Port Allegany Veteran’s Memorial Inc. at 4743 PA-155, Port Allegany, PA.
Executive Director, Jim Chorney states “Access to broadband is no longer a luxury, but a necessity for every individual and community in the region. It goes beyond connectivity; it is the key that creates opportunities and paves the way for knowledge and economic growth throughout the Commonwealth.”
The North Central PA Regional Planning and Development Commission’s meeting is part of a larger strategic effort led by the Pennsylvania Broadband Development Authority (PBDA). Through a robust meeting series, the PBDA will connect with a diverse array of Pennsylvanians and use the public input to help develop plans to address broadband service needs in unserved and underserved communities. The plans will help ensure everyone has the skills, technology, and capacity needed to benefit from our digital economy.
“Far too many Pennsylvanians lack access to affordable, reliable high-speed internet access or face barriers to accessing the technology necessary to participate in our society and economy fully,” said PBDA Executive Director Brandon Carson. “We are seeking to close the digital divide, and the feedback we receive through community meetings is essential as the Commonwealth develops its Broadband, Equity, Access and Deployment and Digital Equity plans.”
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, authorized a $65 billion investment into broadband to close the digital divide. Pennsylvania is guaranteed a minimum of $100 million and is expected to receive hundreds of millions in additional funding through formula or competitive funding opportunities. The community meetings are critical to the planning process and will help inform Pennsylvania’s path forward when the Commonwealth secures funding and implements the plans.

MANSFIELD MAN ARRESTED IN ROAD RAGE INCIDENT THAT PUT A FAMILY IN DANGER. BAIL SET AT $175,000

MANSFIELD, PA – Four members of a Canadian family were victims in a road rage incident that took place along the Route 15 North off ramp Wednesday afternoon, July 5, 2023.
22-year-old Brandon Mullins of Mansfield was taken into custody by local police with guns drawn outside his residence, near Butter’s Home along Route 6 in Mansfield, according to a witness.
Mullins has been accused of firing his gun 3 or 4 times at a blue Telsa on the Beautys Run Road off ramp of the Route 15 northbound lanes in Old Lycoming Township about 2:45 PM, stated police on Wednesday.
The road rage incident occurred in the city, when Brandon Mullins became very angry when he believed the driver, of the Telsa had cut him off in the area of the Route 15 North spur, Detective Segura said.
Mullins was driving the red 2016 Mazda CX5, that police had issued a BOLO for in the shooting incident yesterday. Mullins allegedly ran into the side of the Telsa as the two motorists continued north into Old Lycoming Township, police said.
The Canadian driver immediately called 911 to report the accident as Mullins passed the Telsa carrying the Canadian family, police said.
A short time later, Mullins started to pull over at the Beautys Run Road off ramp, which lead the Canadian driver to think he was stopping to exchange information with him. However, Mullins displayed a gun outside the driver’s side window and then fired the gun multiple times, aiming back at the Telsa, according to an affidavit.
As reported earlier there were no injuries and none of the shots fired hit the Telsa with the family inside. Mullins then pulled back onto Route 15 North and drove away leaving a very shaken family behind.
Police stated they were told that Mullins had been “in Lycoming County for a job interview.”
According to police, the Canadian family was returning home from their vacation, with their two minor children in the Telsa when the incident unfolded.
Police were able to quickly obtain a search warrant for the vehicle Mullins had been driving that day and police towed that vehicle from Mullins’ residence.
According to court records, a handgun was recovered in the red Mazda.
Brandon Mullins was arraigned in front of District Judge Aaron Biichle on charges of aggravated assault, simple assault, recklessly endangering, as well as terroristic threats. Mullins bail was set at $175,000 and he was placed in the Lycoming County Prison.
