The Reese Chocolate Processing plant, Hershey's first fully integrated digital manufacturing facility, opened Wednesday and is part of a $1 billion expansion that is creating over 125 jobs at a 250,000-square-foot site on 55 acres.

Tanis Monroy, the former manager of Broad Street Market, pleaded guilty to a felony theft charge after using checks and credit cards to pay for personal expenses including Uber rides, HVAC service calls, fitness apps, his wife's vehicle registration and a dog spa, and the court sentenced him to one year on probation and ordered him to repay $21,939 plus a $50 fine.

Starting with registrations expiring May 1st, owners of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles in Pennsylvania must pay an annual fee to fund road maintenance since drivers of gas-powered cars contribute a gas tax.

The fee is $200 for full electric vehicles and $50 for plug-in hybrids in 2025 and will rise to $250 and $63 respectively in 2026 — motorists can opt for monthly installments beginning July 2026.

Electric vehicle and hybrid owners in Pennsylvania began paying a new road user charge fee when renewing registrations on April 1, and Act 85 (signed last year) sets the fee at $200 for EVs and $50 for hybrids to fund road and bridge maintenance.
