• Bedford Township Approved Ordinance On Data Center Development (fox8tv.com) — Bedford Township supervisors have approved a detailed new ordinance to regulate any future data center projects, setting rules for water use, noise, power needs, and emergency planning. Officials say they can’t ban data centers outright, but want protections ready to safeguard farmland, property values, and residents if developers ever target the township. 
• Historic Wednesday caps two-day meet at Bedford (PA) – U.S. Trotting News (ustrottingnews.com) — Bedford’s fairgrounds just hosted a record-setting two-day Pennsylvania Fair Circuit harness racing meet, with multiple sub‑2:00 miles and several local track records tied or matched. Drivers and trainers like Eric Neal, Todd Schadel, Steve Schoeffel, and Wayne Long highlighted a fast Wednesday card, as Bedford’s oval briefly became one of the state’s hottest stages for young trotters and pacers.
• $38M in funding announced to upgrade traffic signals across Pennsylvania (wtaj.com) — Pennsylvania has awarded $38 million through its Green Light-Go program to upgrade traffic signals in more than 30 counties, including Bedford County.
