CRANBERRY TWP — A new shopping complex and restaurant will soon be coming to Route 19 in Cranberry.

The decision, at a meeting of the Cranberry Board of Supervisors meeting Thursday, comes off an earlier discussion on Oct. 27, when the board heard public comment and a public hearing on a conditional use application for a two-building development at 20563 and 20575 Route 19. On Thursday, the board approved the preliminary and final land development and conditional use for the project.

The parcel consists of 20,000 square feet on 5.2 acres. The first building will include a 7,088 square foot restaurant and 3,392 square foot retail space, while the second will consist of 9,621 square feet of retail space.

The restaurant space would contain Ichiban Hibachi & Sushi Bar, which is moving to that location from elsewhere in Cranberry. As part of the project, a vacant home on the property will be torn down. The developer has agreed to complete streetscape enhancements along Route 19 and Ogle View Road.
