The state Senate unanimously approved a bill Tuesday to transfer the the property that once housed the Philipsburg Area Hospital to a local economic development group.

About 15 acres in Rush Township will be picked up by the Moshannon Valley Economic Development Partnership for $150,000.

“This is a win for this area, because it will take an empty field that is essentially not being utilized at this point and use it to promote economic development efforts,” Senate Majority Leader Jake Corman, R-Benner Township, said. “In these tough economic times we need to do all we can to promote business growth and development and encourage companies to locate in Pennsylvania.”

The legislation now goes to the state House.
