Homewood Suites, a unit of the Hilton hotel group, plans to add a 116-room hotel in the Village of Cranberry Woods to its chain of extended-stay facilities on a 3.6 acre site at the corner of Franklin Road and Rt. 228. At its March 3 meeting, Cranberry’s Board of Supervisors approved a revised engineering plan which calls for driving 10-foot soil nails into the site’s retaining wall to help insure its future structural integrity. The site rests on a plateau which was created using a massive earthen retaining wall. The wall’s face will be planted with new vegetation and an irrigation system will be installed for both erosion control and improved aesthetics. A lot line revision to merge two parcels at the hotel site was also approved. For more information, contact Ron Henshaw, Director, Planning & Development
