What Westmoreland County does

Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania is a county-level political subdivision of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, established in 1773 as one of the state's original counties. It is headquartered at 2 N Main Street, Suite 101, Greensburg, and is governed by three elected Commissioners — Sean Kertes (Chair), Douglas W. Chew (Vice Chair), and Ted Kopas (Secretary). The county provides statutory public services to 354,000+ residents across 65 municipalities (cities, townships, and boroughs) spanning more than 1,000 square miles, of which approximately 80% is forest or farmland.

Its service portfolio spans Courts and judicial administration, Public Safety and law enforcement, Parks and recreation (Laurel Highlands), a Human Services Department, Election administration (including Act 88 mail-in/absentee ballot reporting — 20,954 ballots received for the May 19, 2026 General Primary), Community Development and Planning, an Industrial Development Corporation (WCIDC), Tax collection, Property records, and Passport services (with expanded Thursday after-hours appointments effective January 1, 2026). Recent strategic activity includes the 228,000 sq ft Chelsea Building Products / ARCO Pittsburgh groundbreaking at Commerce Crossing at Westmoreland, a BEAD Broadband guideline policy, a Turtle Creek Watershed mine discharge cleanup partnership, and a Penn State New Kensington Community Visioning Effort.

The county has no proprietary technology disclosed; its primary digital interface is the CivicAlerts-powered westmorelandcountypa.gov portal, supplemented by Facebook, LinkedIn, X, and Instagram accounts. Revenue is sourced from public taxation, state and federal grants (including ARPA SLFRF reporting), and various fees; no revenue figure is publicly disclosed, and the 2026 Adopted Budget is referenced but figures are not stated in the available data. The entity has no parent company, no subsidiaries, no funding rounds, and operates as a standalone government entity.
