(Cranberry Township, PA) After almost two years of feasibility studies and public outreach, as well as a recommendation from an advisory committee, Cranberry Township is ready to go to next steps for a planned community engagement center.
Two contracts will be up for a vote at Cranberry Township’s board of supervisors meeting on Thursday, November 5th.
A successful vote on that date will continue to advance work on this recreation center, which is planned for a 10-acre property at the intersection of Rochester Road and Thompson Park Drive.
The board will be asked to consider the approval of a design development contract to Designstream LLC.
According to Cranberry township manager Dan Santoro, that contract is worth $1,339,356.
The second contract is for Sports Facilities Companies, which is a company that develops, funds and plans, recreation facilities across the United States.
Santoro confirms that this contract is for consultation about operating the planned community center, as well as the finances of building that facility.
Cranberry Township assistant township manager Kyle Beidler noted that the facility will have 20,000 square feet of turf and four basketball courts, which can also be used as up to eight volleyball courts.

(Cranberry Township, PA) The Cranberry Township board will hold a public hearing at its meeting on December 10th, which involves a proposed Emergency Services Authority that would set a mandatory fee for EMS in Cranberry.
If it is formed, the authority will start meeting in January of 2027 to determine the fee.
During an agenda preparation meeting on Thursday, supervisors authorized the advertisement of the hearing and the intent of Cranberry Township to form the municipal authority.
According to Cranberry Township board of supervisors chairman Bruce Hezlep, roughly 15 to 20 EMS agencies have closed just this year due to insolvency in the state of Pennsylvania.

(Beaver County, PA) A district judge acquitted a woman who was charged with disorderly conduct after an altercation occurred in Cranberry Township, where she reported being punched in the mouth by a local contractor.
Charles Little is the contractor who pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and he is now facing additional charges that are connected to separate driving incidents.
Whitney Hughley came forward with details of the confrontation that happened in February of this year after noticing a social media video of a truck that carried the same company logo trying to force motorcycles off a road in Beaver County.
Hughley was driving to a bookstore in Cranberry Township when a white pickup truck that beared a company logo came speeding up behind her in the turning lane.
According to Hughley, the driver maneuvered aggressively alongside her vehicle before both drivers pulled into a nearby parking lot.
After she parked near a bookstore, Hughley confirmed that the driver parked near a bank and rapidly approached her.
Hughley admitted that she pushed the man away after he entered her personal space, and at that point, he punched her in the mouth.
Cranberry Township Police initially cited both Little and Hughley for disorderly conduct, engaging in fighting.
However, a district judge acquitted Hughley, reprimanded the citing officer and expunged Hughley’s record.
WPXI’s 11 Investigates reported that Little, the owner of C.E. Little Contracting, has accumulated at least 24 traffic convictions over the past five years.
