• Officials in this Pa. county await answers on ICE warehouse's future (monvalleyindependent.com) — Hamburg Area School District is losing nearly $600,000 a year in property tax revenue after ICE bought a massive Upper Bern Township warehouse that’s now sitting in limbo. Local and state officials still have no clear answers on whether the federal government will sell the site, how the lost tax base will be replaced, or what ultimately will happen with the building.
