​Ambridge, PA – at their Tuesday, June 14th Council Meeting, the Ambridge Borough Council announced that it was awarded multiple grants this month from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, PENNDOT, the Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission and Firehouse Subs.  Grants total more than $284,820 

Ambridge Council unanimously approved the filming location for the season two of “Friday Night Tykes Steel Country.”

Council President Mike Mikulich said, “my feeling was I thought it was a horrible show the last time. It showed some very nasty and negative things about Beaver County midget football "

“Maybe if it was filmed again, it would shine a better light, show that that does not happen all the time. That's not the normal for this. Maybe they will see a different Beaver County, a different Ambridge.” ​

A Baden man was accused Friday of stealing more than $1 million from Baden Borough and the Ambridge Area School District in his role collecting taxes for both entities.
Keith Kristek, a former constable for Baden who authorities said was authorized by the borough tax collector to perform essentially all tax collecting functions, was charged with the crimes in filings in the U.S. District Court in Western Pennsylvania.
The court documents say Mr. Kristek collected about $320,000 in cash and more than $740,000 in checks intended for the borough and school district that he converted for his own personal use.
