It's actually considered a suburb of Pittsburgh, even though it's on the southern edge of Beaver County. Most of the employees at the Shell cracker plant are residents of Beaver and Allegheny counties, perhaps a few live in Butler County.
So even though Allegheny County is solid blue in the Pittsburgh area, and partially blue in the outer-lying areas, the surrounding counties including Beaver, are almost solid red. Whenever something good happens they praise the Repukes, when something bad happens they damn the Dems. That's always been their MO and I'm sure it won't change now.
The environmental impact of this Shell plant is inestimable, when you consider how it could be affecting the Ohio River. Currently they're just looking at air pollution, as far as I know.
