CRANBERRY TWP — A vacant retail strip plaza along Route 19 will get a new tenant while an existing cellular tower will be relocated to a space behind Monroe Muffler on Dutilh Road to make room for Interstate 79 ramp improvements.

Township supervisors Thursday night heard plans for the two projects. They are expected to vote next week on their final plans.

Ron Henshaw, Cranberry’s director of community development, told the supervisors that Advanced Controls & Distribution will take up the entire 13,950-square-foot plaza that had been home to Simpatico and Sterling Lighting. The plaza is south of the North Park Deckhouse.

Lou Delmonica, company president, said his business sells factory automation products.

It will relocate its distribution operation in Western Pennsylvania from Monroeville to Cranberry. It will have 17 workers.

The company also has offices in Ohio and West Virginia.

The SBA Cellular Tower is being relocated because of the state Department of Transportation ramps project, which is to begin this year. The project will add ramps to Route 228 to eliminate crossover traffic to access I-79.

The tower will be higher than the previous tower at 220 feet compared to 180 feet. The increase is needed because the new property is at a lower elevation.

The tower’s main tenant is T-Mobile.
