Treasurer Garrity honors CSIU, Union County commissioners with proclamations
Garrity’s proclamations put the CSIU and Union County commissioners in the state treasurer’s spotlight, with formal recognition rather than a funding announcement.
Treasurer Stacy Garrity presented proclamations to the Central Susquehanna Intermediate Unit and Union County commissioners, putting two of the region’s most visible public institutions in the state treasurer’s spotlight. For Union County, the immediate value was formal recognition from Harrisburg for organizations that shape schools and county policy.
The Central Susquehanna Intermediate Unit plays a central role in regional education support, and any state acknowledgment of the agency carries weight beyond a ceremonial handshake. The county commissioners’ inclusion matters too, because commissioners help steer county decisions that affect services, budgets and coordination across municipal lines.
Garrity has built a visible local presence since taking office in January 2021, and her public stops have often carried a practical message for counties. On May 17, 2023, the Pennsylvania Treasury Department said she announced the return of nearly $17,000 in unclaimed property to McKean County, and that announcement was made with McKean County commissioners.
That pattern continued in other parts of the state. On March 3, 2026, the Treasury Department said Garrity returned more than $50,000 in unclaimed property to county governments during America250PA kickoff events across Pennsylvania. In 2025, a Treasury-related item said Garrity and Sen. Frank Farry returned $19,196.47 in unclaimed property to Bucks County residents.
Those earlier appearances help explain why a Garrity visit to Union County draws attention even when the headline centers on proclamations. The treasurer’s office has repeatedly used county-level events to highlight ties between state government and local institutions, sometimes with money going back to counties and residents, sometimes with public recognition for a regional partner like the CSIU.
For Union County, the note of consequence is that the treasurer did not stop at a general visit. Garrity singled out the CSIU and county commissioners, signaling that the state sees both as part of the network of public bodies that keep schools, county government and interagency work moving.
