HAMBURG – The PA Senate Majority Policy Committee will kick off its slate of 2025 public hearings and workshops this week, reviewing new uses for three vacant PA Department of Human Services state centers in Hamburg, White Haven, and Polk that have sat unused for many years, costing millions of taxpayer dollars. Committee Chairman, Sen. David Argall said spending millions of taxpayer dollars each year maintaining these three long-vacant properties is completely irresponsible and needs to stop. Committee members are meeting this afternoon at the Hamburg Strand Theater to discuss the matter in hopes of getting a detailed plan for the future of the properties.
