A sustainable farming group in Pennsylvania is announcing the reinstatement of a $59 million contract that the federal government tried to claw back last year.

Pennsylvania autism researchers and parents are founding members of the new Independent Autism Coordinating Committee. It’s meant to serve as an alternative voice to a federal committee overseen by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. -- a proponent of debunked theories about vaccines causing autism.

A recent poll finds that 42% of Pennsylvanians do not want a data center built in or near their community.

Gov. Josh Shapiro ordered state flags to remain flying at half-staff in honor of a soldier killed late last week in a training incident. Last Thursday, a U.S. Army soldier died during training at Letterkenny Army Depot in Franklin County.

And a deep dive:

 One of Pennsylvania's neighboring states, Delaware, rolled out its retail marijuana market last August. The total volume falls far short of initial estimates.

We're bracing for wild swings in the weather today with the possibility of tornadoes between 3 and 9 p.m. today.

And we take a deep dive into Pennsylvania’s wildlife crossings and corridors:

State lawmakers were briefed on the subject during a recent state budget hearing in Harrisburg. Cindy Adams Dunn, secretary of the Pa. Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, said DCNR will soon be bringing together several state agencies including PennDOT with the goal of making state roadways safer for both wildlife and drivers alike.

Joining WITF’s Karen Hendricks in conversation today is Stephanie Wein of the nonprofit advocacy group PennEnvironment which has long studied wildlife crossings and corridors, along with habitat fragmentation.

And one more related story to put on your radar: We are in a special window of time when thousands of snow geese touch down every year at a Lebanon County reservoir.

Pennsylvania parents and families who have lost loved ones to drug overdoses and addiction say there’s a need for grief support services specifically tailored to this kind of loss. They’re calling on county and state agencies to use settlement money won in national lawsuits against opioid manufacturing companies to fund grief programs.

Penn State’s president was the target of pointed questions during a state House appropriations hearing Wednesday. It comes as the university moves forward with plans to close seven campuses including York and Mont Alto.

A U.S. Secret Service police officer is charged with sending sexually explicit text messages, photos and videos to a Lancaster County girl, according to police.

Cleanup continues following a massive fire at a York County salvage company, two weeks ago.

A Cumberland County food manufacturing facility is expanding. Schreiber Foods, located in Shippensburg, announced Tuesday it's embarking on a nearly $133 million expansion at its yogurt and cream cheese plant.

Nearly half of the state’s rural counties do not have hospitals with labor and delivery units, according to the Center for Rural Pennsylvania. This reflects a nationwide trend of hospitals closing specialized service lines such as obstetrics.

Every year, PA One Book encourages reading by selecting a children's book to help create a shared reading experience statewide. We share this year’s selection.

Police in Carlisle continue to investigate the distribution of white supremacist propaganda last weekend.

The FBI found explosive residue in a Bucks County storage unit after two men were charged with bringing homemade bombs to a protest outside the home of New York City’s mayor.

Pennsylvania is one of only eight states with a closed primary system. That means only voters registered as Democrats or Republicans can cast ballots in their respective parties' spring elections. Advocates hope to open those primaries up to Pennsylvania's unaffiliated voters - a group that numbers more than one million.
