The Cranberry Township Economic Development Committee is continuing to look at options for trying to get a senior living complex in the township.
At the committee’s last meeting in March, township manager Eric Heil said a representative of Connect55+, a division of Calamar, a firm involved in developing senior housing, had told him the firm didn’t believe it could fill all the units if it built a 132-unit senior housing facility in the township.
