Cranberry Township officials will consider a 790-residence development along 114 acres during a June 2 Board of Supervisors meeting.

CRANBERRY TWP — Supervisors next week will consider a large residential development after hearing testimony from two residents during a Thursday public hearing.

The Board of Supervisors will consider approving land development, subdivision and conditional use applications with respect to the Crescent development, a proposed residential and commercial complex near the UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex with 790 residential units and 9,300 square feet of “non-residential uses.”

During a public hearing Thursday, two residents, both of the Fox Run community near the proposed Crescent development, voiced their approval and disapproval of the proposed development.

Keith Hughes, who has resided in Cranberry for 34 years, said he appreciated the opportunity for resident input into the proposal. Ron Henshaw, director of planning and development for Cranberry, said Crescent’s developer held multiple input meetings with residents of adjacent communities, including Fox Run.

“Having paid close attention to this development as it worked its way through the process of reviews by the township staff and the planning advisory commission, I view it very favorably and as a positive enhancement to the community,” Hughes said.
