This memorial was placed here shortly after the municipality moved in and it honors all veterans of all wars from the New Stanton Community. A veteran's day service is held here each year. New Stanton is often used as a control city in western parts of Pennsylvania, as I-70 joins the Pennsylvania Turnpike eastbound towards Breezewood, Pennsylvania in New Stanton, and is a free highway westbound.

UPS has a major sorting operations processing about 400,000 packages daily and employing about 1,700 workers. The building is spread over 49.6 acres and contains about 327,000 square feet—or about seven football fields.

SuperValu has its 724,000-square-foot Pittsburgh grocery distribution center in New Stanton, close to I-70 exit 57. Over 500 persons are employed here serving Shop 'n Save, Save-A-Lot, and County Market stores.
