Potter County Today
January 1st, 2021
Potter County Commissioners Nancy Grupp, Barry Hayman and Paul Heimel put the stamp of approval on a measure designed to create jobs and support economic development during their year-end meeting on Wednesday.
A new ordinance creates tax incentives for construction or expansion of commercial properties. They could qualify for a temporary reduction of county real estate taxes. Under the county’s ordinance, qualifying property owners would receive a 100-percent tax abatement in year one, 80 percent in year two, 60 percent in year three, 40 percent in year four, and 20 percent in year five.
A 1977 state law, the Local Economic Revitalization Tax Assistance (LERTA) Act, authorizes the tax incentive program to support business expansion and job retention/creation. The ordinance applies only to the county portion of real estate taxes. However, school districts, boroughs and townships could also implement a LERTA.
During a public hearing, Potter County Education Council Business and Education Liaison Bob Wicker expressed support for offering the tax incentives, citing the negative impact of the county’s steady population loss and economic recession on school districts and communities countywide.
Potter County Community Development Director Ellen Russell said she believed the LERTA tax incentives would complement her office’s efforts to support businesses in the county.
The commissioners also received a letter of support from the North Central Penn Board of Realtors.
To obtain a copy of the ordinance, call 814-274-8290, ext. 207.

Shots will be administered at UPMC Cole on Friday, Jan. 8. A conference call for emergency services agency representatives is planned for 7 pm Monday, Jan. 4, to provide further details and scheduling information.
Coordinator Dunn also reported that there were approximately 410 people tested for the coronavirus during a five-day drive-through clinic that concluded on Thursday at the Coudersport Area High School parking lot.
Three testing sites for the COVID-19 coronavirus remain available in Coudersport. In addition to the testing site at UPMC Cole for physician-referred patients, tests are also being administered at Buchanan Brothers Pharmacy (visit the website here or call 1-800-635-8611 to complete an eligibility assessment) and Rite Aid Pharmacy (visit the website here or call 814-274-0439).
After a slight lull in new COVID-19 coronavirus cases last weekend, the pandemic rebounded in the final week of 2020. There were 442 confirmed cases across the region between Thursday and Friday.
Twelve of those new cases involved residents of Potter County. At most recent count, there were 120 “active” cases in Potter County. The Pa. Dept. of Health considers a case as active if the virus was detected over the past 14 days.

DOH report that UPMC Cole in Coudersport is currently treating 13 victims of the COVID-19 coronavirus, with three in the intensive care unit. Entering Friday, all four of the hospital’s ventilators were available.
Temporary COVID-19 restrictions in Pennsylvania will expire at 8 am on Monday, Jan. 4. That includes 10-person indoor/25-person outdoor gathering limits. It also includes the ban on indoor operations at restaurants and bars and gyms and entertainment venues, and the suspension of schools’ extracurricular activities.

Here is a full list of the restrictions that will remain in place:

Seedlings that would have been dug up and shipped out last spring were left to grow another year after the 2020’s seedling sale was canceled. In some cases, that means the nursery will be offering larger, more-resilient seedlings in this year’s sale with a wide variety of seedlings available – 20 species in all.
The 2021 seedling order form will be available online with sales to begin Monday, Jan. 4.
Among this year’s offerings are red mulberry, North America’s only native mulberry tree, which grows to mature heights between 30 and 50 feet; Eastern red cedar, which also is known as juniper and produces a berry-like cone used by many birds; and Northern bayberry, a hardy shrub that can reach 15-foot heights and is an important winter food source for grouse and other birds.
There are a variety of oaks, pines, spruces and other deciduous and evergreen trees, and a host of shrubs also available for sale, some of them in impressive numbers. For instance, the nursery presently has twelve 4-foot-wide, 440-foot-long beds of red oak seedlings – a linear mile of red oak – awaiting to be sold, shipped and transplanted, said Brian Stone, manager at Howard Nursery.
“There’s more of a variety of species because the seedlings stayed in the ground last year so a few of the seedlings have grown bigger than in previous years and are of exceptional quality,” Stone said. “So, we’re very excited to get the 2021 sale underway, and later this spring get seedlings out to properties statewide to improve habitat and help Pennsylvania’s wildlife.”
The Howard Nursery grows tree and shrub seedlings for use on state game lands and Hunter Access properties, as well as for the Seedlings for Schools program and the Game Commission’s conservation partners.
Any remaining surplus is available to Pennsylvania residents for purchase. Seedlings are sold in units of 25.
Most orders of 12 or more total units qualify for applicable discounted pricing. With the discount, prices are as low as $5.50 per unit. Regular price ranges from $7.50 to $9.50, depending upon the seedling species.
In the 2021 sale, red mulberry is the only seedling for which a discount isn’t offered because it’s available in limited numbers only.
Stone said those who are interested in placing an order should call Howard Nursery at 814-355-4434
once the sale begins. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday from
7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Orders can be placed by FAX as well at 814-355-8094

Pennsylvania's volunteer and career fire companies, emergency medical services and rescue squads have until Monday, Jan. 25, at 4 p.m. to apply for the latest round of grants offered by the Office of State Fire Commissioner. The maximum grant amount is $15,000 for fire companies and $10,000 for volunteer ambulance services. Thanks to Act 91 of 2020, fire companies which receive grants may now bank that money for up to five years rather than "use it or lose it" in a 12-month period, which was the policy prior to the measure. This makes it easier to plan for larger projects and purchases such as building construction or acquisition of apparatus. If you want more information or wish to submit an application, please click here. |

Improving the Quality of Local Health Care
Access to improved health care in our area continues with the infusion of grant funding from Pennsylvania's Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program, which is administered by the Office of the Budget. Penn Highlands Healthcare is receiving $500,000, which will be used to construct a new behavioral health facility on the grounds of the existing 1920's-era building. The new three-story structure will house 124 inpatient beds, including beds for children and adolescents. The first floor of the new addition will provide outpatient services and include a behavioral health urgent care walk-in clinic and behavioral health intensive care unit for high acuity patients. The new second floor will be dedicated to children and adolescent inpatient programs, with the third floor to focus on gero-psychiatry inpatient programs including a unit for individuals who are diagnosed with mental health and substance abuse issues. |

On January 1, 2021 at 1:30 A.M., Troopers out of SP Olean responded to a violent domestic incident dispatched by Cattaraugus Sheriff’s Office (911) on Yubadam Road in Portville, NY.
After arriving at the residence and speaking with the victim, a male suspect, later identified as Ryan T. Ehman, 40, advanced towards Troopers armed with a bow and arrow. Troopers gave several commands to drop the weapon, and after he failed to comply, a Trooper discharged his Division issued firearm, striking Ehman.
Ehman was taken into custody and transported to Erie County Medical Center via Mercy Flight for injuries.
This is an ongoing investigation, criminal charges are pending. Updated information will be provided at a later time.
