ADAMS TWP—The Mandera Subdivision project — nine family homes proposed near the Cranberry municipal line — has been sent back to the planning commission. This happened after environmental concerns were raised by both Adams Township residents and the board of supervisors.

Russel Ford, board of supervisors chairman, said his chief concern was getting all the necessary information before proceeding.
