Officials plan to open a park at site of a former Moon Township industrial site.
Land-use planner Sean Garrigan said a master plan for Moon Township's proposed waterfront park along the Ohio River could be approved by March. Garrigan, who briefed Moon supervisors Wednesday on the project's progress, said planners and township officials are readying a final draft of the park's master plan, which will be submitted to the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. Moon Parks and Recreation officials for much of the past year have worked alongside planners, crafting a park design and environmental remediation plan for a 17-acre property on University Boulevard, overlooking the Ohio River. The proposed park will be cornered between the Sewickley Bridge and Fab-Tec Industries along Route 51. View …

The township's Board of Supervisors also awards bids.
Moon Township this week debuted a newly redesigned website. Townshp Manager Jeanne Creese said the site, which can still be found at MoonTwp.com, features easier access to community resources, such as the Moon's community request form and the SwiftReach reverse 911 service, which alerts residents of area emergencies. Creese introduced the revamped site before the township's Board of Supervisors. Supervisors moved to award a $51,500 bid to Newcrete Products for pre-stresesed concrete slab beams, which will be used for the North Flaugherty Run Road Bridge over Boggs Run. The board moved to rescind its approval of the Cimarron Planned Residential Development third phase, to be built off Spring Run Road extention. The board initially …

Former supervisor says he believes a resignation was not necessary.
Former Moon supervisor Tim McLaughlin said he did not know he was required to resign separately from the Moon Transportation Authority when he left his position on the board of supervisors. Township supervisors voted 5-to-0 last week to remove McLaughlin from the authority because he did not attend any of its 2011 meetings. McLaughlin resigned from his seat on the board of supervisors in August after his position with U.S. Airways was relocated to Charlotte, NC. "When I resigned as supervisor it would seem like common sense that they would just take you off of everything," he said. The authority, which oversees infrastructure development in Moon, operates independently of the township's supervisors. The board of supervisors traditionally …
