Henry Farm is a planned residential development of 114 single-family homes on about 85.7 acres off Darlington, Powell and Rochester Roads in Cranberry Township. The land is zoned R-2, a residential district. The county's records describe new roads serving the lots.
Township agendas show the plan has moved well along. The township supervisors approved a revised tentative plan on August 6, 2026. That revision changed the build order so the former Phases 3 and 4 now come first. The same day they gave final approval to Phases 1-2, which the agenda describes as 60 lots.
The county's review noted that no DEP (state environmental) or flow capacity (sewer) letter had been received. It also flagged a missing setback on Lot 400 and emergency access. No developer website or news coverage was found.
What it could mean nearby
- Roughly 114 new households would add traffic on Darlington, Powell and Rochester Roads.
- The county flagged emergency access as an open issue, so how fire and ambulance crews reach the neighborhood matters.
- Sewer service depends on a flow capacity letter, which the county had not received when it reviewed the plan.
- The 85.7-acre site would shift from its current state to homes and new streets.
Where it stands
The township supervisors approved the revised tentative plan and final Phases 1-2 on August 6, 2026. Next come state and sewer permits, construction permits, and later final approval of the remaining phases.
