The Archdiocese of Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania – a unit of the Russian Orthodox Church in America – has for many years maintained a retreat on Peters Road, surrounded by woodlands. At its November 1 meeting, Cranberry’s Board of Supervisors approved the Singer company’s subdivision plan to combine and acquire two adjacent parcels owned by the Diocese totaling 36.9 acres. The company eventually plans to create streets and homes on the property as an extension of its Forest Edge Planned Residential Development.
