💔With heavy hearts, PSATC shares the sudden passing of Sam Juliano, Commissioner of North Versailles Township and a true champion of local government.
Sam served his community for decades as a Ward 4 Commissioner, and as PSATC President from 2022–2023, he led our association with vision and heart, representing First Class Townships with pride and earning a Governor’s Award for Local Government Excellence in 2023.
More than his titles, Sam will be remembered for his warmth and his genuine belief that local government exists to serve people. He was truly part of the PSATC family, and he will be deeply missed.
Our thoughts are with Sam’s family, friends, and the North Versailles community. Rest in peace, Sam, thank you for your service and dedication.

💻Resource for PSATC members: PA Data Center Proposal Tracker

As data center development accelerates across Pennsylvania, there’s now a free tool to help track where projects stand: the Pennsylvania Data Center Proposal Tracker (trackdatacenters.com/state/pennsylvania).

The site maps proposed, planned, approved, and under-construction data center projects statewide, pulling from public records, local news, and zoning filings, sortable by size, status, and electrical capacity.

For townships navigating zoning or public questions around data centers, it’s a useful starting point for seeing how projects are unfolding elsewhere.

As always, verify project-specific details through official municipal and county records. It’s an independent, privately-run site, not a government or association product, we are sharing it as a helpful third-party tool.
