Supervisors could take action March 2
Cranberry Township supervisors will consider the acquisition of a 71-acre farm Thursday, March 2, with the goal of developing it as a public agricultural center.
It will essentially be, what I would term as, a “farm-park,” township manager Dan Santoro said.
The 150-year-old property was purchased by William Powell in 1945. Powell’s son, Denton Powell, worked the land until his death in December 2021. A lifelong friend of Denton Powell, Andy Hack, was made executor of his will and approached the township nine months ago about gifting them the property.
