We’ve been lucky with our freshest additions (in York and Morgantown); however, at our long-owned estates (in Grantville and The Meadows in Washington) did drop a bit of contribution.”
And, an even higher clash is impending in Pennsylvania’s limits, as further brick-and-mortar settings are anticipated to rise following year in Cumberland and Centre counties.
