How Pgh Zones for Child Care, Community College Debt & Canada-Free Ball

It’s the Friday news roundup! PA still doesn’t have a state budget and it’s costing local community colleges and libraries a lot. Zoning changes — more zoning changes! — could be on the horizon for child care facilities, and after a week without Matt Canada, how are the Steelers looking? Plus, we learned something new about Prevention Point Pittsburgh.

We always cite our sources:

• SpotlightPA reports state budget delays are really hurting local community colleges and libraries. The Trib focused on several community colleges in the Pittsburgh region
• Listen to our previous episode with PublicSource’s Emma Folts on shrinking enrollment at CCAC
• The city planning commission recently approved child care zoning, and the Trib’s been reporting on its progress
• Prevention Point Pittsburgh does great work in Pittsburgh. You can get harm reduction supplies at five sites across the city
• Apply for free Narcan, delivered anonymously right to your door
• A new collab from SpotlightPA and WESA digs into how opioid settlement money is supposed to expand syringe services, and what’s holding that back
