The company also will award $340,000 to residents of Lawrence County, Shapiro's office said. Local leaders will decide how the money is used.
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said during a news conference in East Palestine, Ohio, Feb. 21, 2023 that Norfolk Southern had pledged several million dollars to cover the cost of response to a train derailment. Railway giant Norfolk Southern will give Darlington Township, Beaver County, $660,000 for “community relief” in the wake of the Feb. 3 train derailment that sent plumes of toxic chemicals into skies on the Pennsylvania-Ohio border, Gov. Josh Shapiro announced Monday.
“Every step of the way, my administration has made clear that we are focused on delivering the help our communities need and holding Norfolk Southern accountable,” Shapiro said in a prepared statement.and Lawrence County build back better than before, and my administration will continue to hold Norfolk Southern accountable for any and all impacts on our commonwealth.”
Mike Carreon, chairman of the Darlington Township Board of Supervisors, said he wants his residents to “know this is not a settlement but a small step forward.”“We continue in discussions with Norfolk Southern in an effort to address both our short- and long-term concerns,” Carreon said. Pennsylvania officials continue to lead environmental testing on the state’s border. The state Department of Agriculture said this month that sample crops in Beaver and Washington counties showed no contamination from the train derailment.
