Ross Could Get New Residential, Retail Complex

ROSS TOWNSHIP, PA - Plans are advancing for the redevelopment of the Perry Shops site on Perry Highway.

Dubbed "The Ross," the site would include a four-story apartment building, a self-storage facility, retail shops, a restaurant and pharmacy. The project is being spearheaded by Pittsburgh-based Kossman Development.

Renderings of the proposed development that Commissioner Jeremy Shaffer posted on his Facebook page drew mixed reviews.

"While I think something does need to happen there, something that big is a no," Carrie King stated in a comment on the post.

"This looks very nice," Carol Cayzo commented. "An improvement from the empty space that is an eyesore."

Commissioners have yet to vote on the project.
