BUTLER TWP — A new credit union could be constructed soon on New Castle Road.

The Butler Township Planning Commission on Tuesday approved a plan to install a Top Tier Federal Credit Union, formerly known as Clarion Federal Credit Union, at 270 New Castle Road, which is across from the entrance to Butler Senior High School.

Jesse Hines, Butler Township zoning officer, said the property parcel consists of 4.16 acres and is zoned to allow a banking facility with a drive thru.

According to the plan, the building will be about 2,500 square feet, and the project will install a new driveway at the intersection at the traffic light by the high school. The project will also involve the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, which will install new signs along the road about the updated traffic at 270 New Castle Road.
