Is Cranberry Township sending Police to the G20 Summit?

Not exactly, although our police lieutenant is on the G20 planning committee and our police are taking steps to prepare for the event’s impact here in Cranberry. When the G20 Pittsburgh Summit was first announced, our Board Chairman, Dick Hadley, wrote to Mayor Ravenstahl congratulating the city for this honor and offering any help we could provide, including advance services, such as public works, administrative and planning services,or anything else the City may need. In the meantime, Cranberry’s hotels are already booked solid and, as home to several high-profile global corporations, we expect a number of foreign visitors to our own community during that time. So our police focus is on making sure everyone here gets a warm welcome and has a great experience in Cranberry.

Cranberry Township is a huge supporter of Pittsburgh. We want the G20 Summit to be a tremendous success. We are confident the City will do a wonderful job hosting the world’s leaders along with the visitors attracted to that event, and we are pleased to be part of this great event.
