Farmers Bank Could Replace Cranberry Veterinary Hospital

The bank is one of several developments up for a vote by officials at the next Board of Supervisors meeting.

Farmers National Bank, which has 13 branches in western Pennsylvania, could be coming to Cranberry.

The township’s Board of Supervisors will vote Thursday on whether to approve plans for the 7,400 square foot building, which would be located on two acres at the corner of Ogleview Drive and Route 19.

The spot currently is home to the Cranberry Veterinary Hospital. The practice was opened in 1971 by Dr. Gunther Lill, who still sees pets there today, according to the vet’s website.

The building would be razed to make way for the bank.

The Farmers National Bank would include a drive through teller’s window, plus extensive landscaping, according to the developers.

Lill, who said he used to examine horses and cows when Cranberry was still a farming community, said he plans to make his veterinarian practice a house call service.

"It's going to continue on a smaller scale," he said.

That’s not the only new development up for a vote at Thursday’s meeting.

Cranberry Crossroads West

Officials will vote on whether to green light plans for to the already-established Cranberry Crossroads development on Route 228.

A public hearing on Cranberry Crossroads West, which includes 12,106 square feet of retail space and a 5,500 square foot restaurant on 4.4 acres of property, was held March 27.

The proposed multi-tenant Cranberry Crossroads West would abut the La-Z-Boy furniture store, according to Ron Henshaw, Cranberry’s director of community development. The restaurant, which does not have a tenant yet, would be located in a separate building in front of the complex.  

The space also could include an Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza. At the March 27 meeting, Cranberry supervisors voted unanimously to approve a liquor license transfer for the restaurant.

The restaurant, which specializes in "well-done" pizzas, wings and other Italian dishes cooked in a coal-burning oven, would be located at the end of the multi-tenant space building.

The Links of Cranberry

Also on the agenda is whether to approve plans for Phase 1 of a new neighborhood that will be located on 23 acres at the intersection of Glen Eden Road and Freshcorn Road near the Cranberry Highlands Golf Club.

The first phase of the development includes 21 single-family homes and 20 houses.

The Cranberry Board of Supervisors meeting takes place at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, April 4 at the Cranberry Township Municipal Center.
