The money will be used to extend the pathways at Graham Park.
Cranberry plans to extend the trails already in place at Graham Park with help from a new $90,000 grant from the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.

The bear has been sighted in several neighborhoods, according to police.
A bear—or possibly bears—is making its way around Cranberry Township. Cranberry Police Sgt. Chuck Mascellino said bear sightings were reported this week in the Woodbine neighborhood off Powell Road and in Graham Park. On Thursday, a grassy area in front of the Traco building in the Cranberry Business Park on Unionville Road was taped off. Signs posted in the area cautioned people a bear had been spotted in the area. The owners of the Seven Fields Veterinary Hospital on Route 228 also saw a bear about 50 yards from the building (Check out the photos of it on the right). Mascellino said the sightings could be of the same animal. “They cover a pretty wide area,” he said of bears. Cranberry resident Leigh Hall, who was walking her usual two-…

The funds in memory of Tom and Lee Coyle will be used to support the Boy Scout Centennial Plaza fund.

Refinancing two bonds could lead to $450,000 worth of savings for the township. Cranberry also refinanced two bonds last September.
Taking advantage of current low interest rates, Cranberry Township once again is moving forward with plans to refinance its debts.
