• Jackson, Cranberry townships unveil new boundary at joint meeting (butlereagle.com) — Cranberry and Jackson township officials have unveiled proposed new boundary lines along Cranberry's northern edge, prompted by the Kobe Point housing development and confusion over old maps and deeds. Residents near the line raised concerns about communication, tree cutting, stormwater, and survey work, while officials stressed that property buffers remain unchanged and the ordinance will go before both boards in early September.
   

• Cranberry's Armstrong Great Lawn designated a 'great public space' (butlereagle.com) — Cranberry Township's Armstrong Great Lawn, the 2.5‑acre green in front of the municipal center, has been named one of Pennsylvania's "great public spaces" by the state chapter of the American Planning Association.
