Pennsylvania Treasury's Bureau of Unclaimed Property lists schools, businesses and police/fire groups with money due them—and there might be some out there for you, too.

Most of this unclaimed property is owed to individual residents (read below to find out how to search for yourself or a relative). However, there are a number of municipalities, school districts, fire and police departments, civic groups and other organizations that also have money waiting for them. The state website identifies the property as either "under $100" or "over $100" and the source of the property. A quick (and by no means complete) search of the state's website …

Thorn-Walnut Management, LLC is proposing a mixed-use of office buildings, specialty retail, a parking garage and possibly housing in the heart of Sewickley.
Demolition crews have already begun razing the former Ascot Motor buildings near the corner of Walnut and Thorn streets to make way for new development. Peter Friday, president of Forbes Trail Development Co., and the project manager, tracked the sale of the Ascot Motor property for three years. The property in the heart of Sewickley had been on and off the market for years before First Commonwealth Bank acquired the lots in a sherriff's sale earlier this year. Friday's company, Thorn-Walnut Management, LLC, purchased the properties in June from the bank. “I cannot think of anything more exciting from a real estate development perspective,” Friday said in a news release. “This has all of the elements required in pursuing a project -- …
