Meeting recap: South Fayette commissioners

2 min read

Date: May 16

Action: Final subdivision plans, as well as site and land development plans, for the former 84 Lumber site along Route 50 in the township were unanimously approved by the board.

Newbury project manager Eric Newhouse said the Gateway Shops will be a “key piece in the redevelopment of the Route 50 corridor.”

The Gateway Shops are the first piece in the first phase in the development of the Newbury Market. This first part of the development will include two buildings, Newhouse said. One building will be a 23,000-square-foot space that will house “small shop retail,” including a restaurant, bank, medical offices and financial services. The other building will be a 2,000-square-foot coffee shop with drive-through. No announcements as far as tenants were made by Newhouse.

Commissioners also authorized the advertisement of a draft fireworks ordinance. The draft ordinance will be reviewed by commissioners at the June 11 workshop meeting and could be ready for approval by June 18. Township Manager Ryan Eggleston said at a prior meeting that the ordinance is being crafted because there was an incident in the township of someone setting off fireworks without a permit, which caused concern among nearby residents.

In a separate action, the board voted on a vendor for this year’s July 3 fireworks display. American Fireworks was awarded the $9,000 contract.

The board approved the purchase of a 2001 Ford F-350 pickup truck for $9,000 from Indiana Township. The truck will be used primarily by the parks and recreation department.

Next meeting: 7:30 p.m. June 11 at the municipal buildling
