Happy Valley tourism receives over $1 million in grant funding
CENTRE COUNTY, Pa. (WTAJ) — The Happy Valley Adventure Bureau (HVAB) is rolling out over $1 million in tourism grants to 81 recipients over the net fiscal year. The annual event awards funding to projects and organizations that 'foster visitation' according to a press release from the HVAB. This year the bureau is giving out a record-breaking $1,100,750. HVAB CEO Fritz Smith attributes the boost in funds to the county doubling its hotel tax five years ago. 'When we got the room tax increased five years ago, that was our goal was to, within five years, reach that $1 million mark in terms of grants that we awarded,' Smith said. Juniata College receives approval from state nursing board for new nursing program Commissioner Steve Dershem said it took 'a lot of thought' to make the decision to raise the tax. But, five years out from the tax raise, he says the initiative was a 'tremendous success.' The $1.1 million is being split among 81 recipients, including tourism heavy-hitters like 4th Fest, Grange Fair and Arts Fest. Of the 81, 11 of them are newcomers to the program. 'We also wanted to stimulate new events,' Smith said. 'And so over the years, we've really been able to be successful with that because of this program.' Some of the new faces include Burning Ma'am, AAUW State College and the Bellefonte Historical Railroad Society. New or old, local officials say each organization plays a role in making the county more appealing. 'These large events are major economic drivers for the local economy, and they're places for reunions and fellowship among local residents and those who return to our community for these events,' Commissioner Amber Concepcion said. The grants will begin distribution in July. For a full list of the recipients, visit the HVAB's website. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Pennsylvania parks officials learn tips for building; connecting trails
BELLEFONTE, Pa. (WTAJ) — Parks and recreation officials attended a learning seminar to help develop more trails in the state. The Trail Symposium, held at Brass 16823 on Axemann Road, drew over 75 people to a daylong session focused on creating efficient trails for running, biking, and equestrian use. Topics of discussion ranged from planning to fundraising, design and marketing. 'It's a very broad interest, but that's how the National Parks Service trails get on the ground,' Mary Monroe Brown, senior vice president of advocacy and engagement for the International Mountain Bicycling Association, said. 'It's a collaboration of all these groups and people understanding this vision of trails.' State grant awarded to Cambria County Historical Society to preserve century-old Buck House Attendees got a chance to network and share ideas in between sessions about their management of trails. These ideas were a way to take each piece of advice back to the home trails and create ways to connect each trail for a larger network of paths. With each connection, a new way to attract visitors and boost local commerce arises. 'The people that go hiking, camping and mountain biking, they spend a lot of money on their affinity and their recreation,' Phillip Millburn, the vice president of IMBA, said. 'The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has this data to back this case up. The economic potential is significant.' Pennsylvania has 650 trails that span over 14,000 miles. The IMBA sees the potential in developing these connecting trails to create a statewide network. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Translink moves some bus services to Grand Central Station
Translink has announced bus services from Downpatrick, Newcastle and Ballynahinch will operate from Belfast Grand Central Station from July. The move aligns with the launch of Translink's summer timetable and aims to enhance passenger convenience and connectivity, it said. The changes will see Goldliner coach and Ulsterbus services, including routes 215, 515 and 516 to Downpatrick; 237 and 520 to Newcastle; and the 652 to Ballynahinch via Cairnshill Park and Ride and Carryduff, all depart from Belfast from 1 July. It is part of Translink's ongoing transition to the £340m public transport hub in the centre of Belfast, which opened last September. Translink's acting general manager for bus services, Phillip Woods, highlighted several benefits that such a move will bring for passengers. "We are pleased that our services will now offer customers greater convenience, access to modern facilities, and better connections to other bus, rail, cross-border and airport services," he said. Mr Woods also confirmed that while Grand Central Station will be the main departure point, Adelaide Street will remain an outbound stop. On return journeys, buses will revert to their previous city centre set-down stop at Bedford Street before completing their routes at Grand Central. In addition, Translink will introduce a new express service, which will provide a faster, direct evening peak journey to Newcastle via the M1 bus lanes through Ballynahinch. Changes will also affect the Metro network, with Metro 8 services relocating to their former stop at Donegall Square East from Howard Street, while continuing to travel via Great Victoria Street and Wellington Place.
