For those wondering what the big earthmoving job is that you can see from I-79 at the Cranberry exit, construction has started on the first of two 63,000 sq. ft. office buildings that Landmark Properties is developing on Dutilh Road. L. S. Fiore Inc. from Altoona is the general contractor. On the North Side, Dynamic Building Co. has been given the nod to build the 150-room Fairfield Inn that Kratsa Properties is planning to go behind their Springhill Suites on General Robinson St.

The general trades package of the Highmark Medical Mall in Wexford has gone out to bid to Landau, Mascaro, Massaro, PJ Dick & Rycon. Although the overall project will probably cost about $80 million, this package has been pared back to less than a full shell & core package, likely $8 million or so.
