Hempfield supervisors on Monday approved a motion that would pave the way for new residential homes at the former Valley Green Golf & Country Club as long as the developer meets several conditions laid out in the motion.
In a unanimous vote, supervisors granted conditional approval for 63 lots along Valley Green Road. The homes would be part of the first phase of the project that would develop the former 18-hole golf course, split between Hempfield and Unity, that shuttered in December 2019.

McDowell Associates Insurance and the Westmoreland Bar Association both recently restored vacant buildings to be their new headquarters.
They are the second and third recipients of the corporation’s “G-Fund” grant program, which launched last year to incentivize development in the city.
“Projects such as these will have a lasting impact in our community and we thank the Westmoreland Bar Association and McDowell Associates for their investment in the City of Greensburg,” development corporation Executive Director Ashley Kertes said in a statement.

Closing the gap
Democrats in Pennsylvania still have a registration edge of 700,000 over Republicans, with 4.2 million Democrats, compared to 3.5 million Republicans. However, the GOP has been making gains, while Democrats have seen small losses.
Over the last four years, Republicans added 205,000 registered voters, while Democrats saw their total registration slip by 10,000.
Nowhere has this trend been more pronounced than Westmoreland County. As recently as 25 years ago, Democrats there boasted a 2-1 registration edge, but Republicans took the lead in registered voters in 2019. Deb Erdley
