The Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex could reopen as soon as this fall after being closed to the public throughout the pandemic.
The state-owned ag expo center has temporarily housed Pennsylvaniaâs stockpile of personal protective equipment for the past year, but officials say itâs time to move the masks, gloves and hand sanitizer to a permanent warehouse.
âWe are as anxious as anyone to move out of the facility as soon as we can,â Curt Topper, Pennsylvaniaâs general services secretary, said in a March 31 hearing of the House State Government Committee.
In its emergency response plans, Pennsylvania has long designated the Farm Show Complex as its statewide distribution hub during extreme situations.
Among President Donald Trump s 22 complaints about election fraud during the Save America rally earlier this month, he perpetuated lies from Pennsylvania House Republicans.
Repeating a claim first shared by state Rep. Frank Ryan, a Lebanon County Republican, Trump said there were 205,000 more votes than voters in the 2020 presidential election in Pennsylvania. Where did they come from? Trump said to his supporters Jan. 6 before they stormed the U.S. Capitol in a violent mob attack. You know where they came from? Somebody’s imagination.
That fraud claim has been categorically debunked and rejected by courts, which said the Trump campaign failed to produce evidence of widespread fraud.
