Team officials say they may look for a site elsewhere if they cannot reach a consensus with Cranberry on design plans for the complex.

After meeting with Cranberry officials earlier this week, Williams said the team would continue to work with the township on the project—for now. “However, until you have absolutely all the approvals that you need, and until you have the deal completed, you’re always keeping your eyes and ears open for other …

Township manager Jerry Andree says facility still is far from a done deal.
Plans are in the infancy stage for the Pittsburgh Penguins to partner with UPMC on a cutting edge performance center and practice rink in Cranberry. "It's really going to be a one-of-the-kind in the country," said Penguins spokesman Tom McMillan.

With plans for the final phase of the Cranberry Woods business complex calling for more than just the typical corporate offices, residents may soon be able to live where they work. At a meeting Thursday, Cranberry’s board of supervisors unanimously approved a revised master plan for the project that includes housing.

Developers will join with township on road improvements.
While Cranberry Woods is known primarily as an office park, living space also could be part of the park’s future. At Monday’s Planning Advisory Commission meeting, James Murray-Coleman of Trammell Crow Company, which is partnered with Mine Safety Appliances in the development of Cranberry Woods, introduced preliminary plans for a 250-unit apartment complex and a separate office building with 250,000 square feet worth of space. Murray-Coleman said the buildings would be the final additions to the last available space left at the park, which also is home to Westinghouse Electric Company headquarters. He described the proposed garden-style, three-story units as upscale yet affordable. “The design also is going to be a high-end design,” he …

Highway overhauls set for 2012 include plans for triple turning lanes -- a first for the region.
From business to housing to the roads themselves, big changes are in store for Route 228, one of Cranberry’s most heavily trafficked corridors. The Roads At Thursday’s board of supervisors meeting, Cranberry’s chief strategic planning officer John Trant detailed major plans for the state highway. Among the planned changes: the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation plans to build new northbound and southbound ramps from Route 228 to Interstate 79.Trant said the construction of the ramps should cut back on traffic backing up on the highway because drivers would no longer have to turn left from Route 228 to access the interstate.
