A 302-acre reclaimed brownfield in Findlay Township is being transformed 
into a large industrial and commercial office park that hopes to bring 
1,400 new jobs to the region.

The Chapman Commerce Center at Westport Road will be a 2.6 
million-square-foot mixed-use industrial complex with access to the 
Turnpike and close proximity to the Pittsburgh International Airport. 
The groundbreaking of the former strip mine was held this week by local 
officials and Chapman Properties.

The first phase of the project will begin this summer, opening 40 acres 
of pad-ready sites. The construction of a 93,000-square-foot

Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program grant approved last year.
