This of course, is not in Harrison Township but in our Neighbors Breckenridge .
This sounds like a wonderful business opportunity for somebody.

A vacant Brackenridge church that dates to 1918 is ready to welcome new life. The property at 739 Prospect St. is listed for sale for $115,000. The church is best known to many from its time as the First Church of God which, according to Harrison resident Beverly Merli, was

THIS WOULD BE SO WONDERFUL FOR OUR AREA FOR PEOPLE NEEDING A BUS!!
I don’t know if this is going to happen or when I just copied it from another person‘s page. I hope this is true for our area connecting to new Kensington.

Key Route Improvements

Would create new connections between New Kensington and the Highlands Mall via Tarentum, Brackenridge and Natrona Heights.
Would replace weekday, peak-only service in Natrona Heights with 7-day, all-day service.
Would add service on River Ave between Tarentum, Brackenridge and Natrona, and would retain service to Creighton.
Route Highlights

N3 would connect to routes N1 and L1 in New Kensington and Tarentum, providing service to Waterworks and East Liberty all day, and to Downtown Pittsburgh during the morning peak.
The N3 would restore historic transit service to the Allegheny Valley and improve local connections. In this second draft, this fixed route community circulator route would take the place of previously proposed microtransit, to address feedback received on the first draft.

The land still sits untouched; the shuttered Harbison Nursery building is intact. Harrison officials have....
