CRANBERRY TWP — Supervisors held a public hearing Thursday, May 25, introducing culture and diversity updates to the township’s comprehensive plan.

Updates included transitioning the Cranberry Area Diversity Network, CADN, into the Cranberry Township IDEA — inclusion, diversity, equity and advisory — team.

“About a year ago, a group of stakeholders came to the board meeting and talked to you all about the direction and efforts that we’re putting forth toward that section of our Cranberry plan — that culture and diversity section,” township manager Dan Santoro told the board.

According to Santoro, the township formed a steering group and, working with a consultant, drafted updates to the comprehensive plan.

Kyle Beidler, strategic planning officer for the township, said the updated plan identified 20 high-priority items that the group hopes to accomplish.
