NEWBURY INFORMATION - September 2009

NEWBURY UPDATE - April 2009
In September 2008, a groundbreaking event was held at the Newbury site to mark the important milestone of construction beginning at this much anticipated project. Many South Fayette residents and local and state officials were present to celebrate the event. Since the groundbreaking event, significant construction progress has been made at the site, and Newbury remains a bright spot in the midst of significant economic turmoil, which has hindered development throughout the nation over the past year.
The upland portion of the Newbury site to the west of Presto-Sygan Road will be developed into a new neighborhood of about 200 single family houses, and it has been cleared in preparation for earthwork operations. One natural gas transmission line at this portion of the site has been relocated, and the second transmission line is being relocated this April and May. Furthermore, initial earthwork for the construction of the entrance road to this new residential neighborhood has been completed along the hillside near Presto-Sygan Road. Construction remains on schedule to have the first homes completed at Newbury by spring 2010.
At the former manufacturing facility to the east of Presto-Sygan Road – the future home of the Newbury Market mixed-use, main street retail development – all of the existing foundations and underground utility systems have been demolished. All of the utility poles, overhead wires and utility buildings have also been demolished, and the electrical power substation at the south-eastern corner of the site has been de-commissioned and removed. Several cranes have been on-site since late January 2009 in order to complete a process called deep, dynamic compaction, in which a large weight is repeatedly dropped on the ground. This work compacts the existing soil and prepares the ground to support the new buildings to be constructed at Newbury Market. Upon completion of the deep, dynamic compaction, earthwork operations will begin to haul soil from the upland portion of the site, across Presto-Sygan Road, and then onto the former manufacturing facility. Construction remains on schedule to have stores, restaurants and a hotel completed at Newbury Market in 2011.

'Newbury Market' Bringing New Stores, Homes, Trails To Old Brownfield Near I-79
South Fayette Project Will Create Jobs In Allegheny County
SOUTH FAYETTE, Pa. -- Ground was broken Wednesday for a mixed-use development project on a large, former brownfield site in South Fayette, Allegheny County.
Newbury Market -- to be located on Presto-Sygan Road, near Interstate 79's Bridgeville exit -- will include a hotel, homes, rental units and retail and commercial space. The development covers 301 acres and is expected to bring 2,000 new jobs to the area, according to county Chief Executive Dan Onorato's office. In addition to the businesses and homes, there will be 130 acres of open space with parks and walking and biking trails.
Newbury Market is projected to open in 2010, with home construction beginning in 2009. When it's done, drivers will be able to get there from state Route 50, Millers Run Road and Presto-Sygan Road.
