Fort Cherry Development District

The Fort Cherry Development District is home to development sites in northern Washington County, specifically Robinson Township. The development makes immediate use of the Southern Beltway, PA-576, also sometimes referred to the “Energy Corridor” as it provides ease of access to landmarks including Pittsburgh International Airport, the Shell Cracker Plant in Beaver County and Interstate 79 in Washington County, making them accessible within minutes of the the Fort Cherry Development District.

Phase 1 of the Development was recently constructed and accommodates three pad-ready development sites. At full buildout, the Fort Cherry Development District will consist of an estimated 6 million square feet of industrial and flex space that is projected to generate over $750 million in private investment. The development plan includes sites up to 100 acres that can accommodate buildings from 20,000 to 1 million square feet.

To date, Imperial Land Corporation has committed over $5 million of funding for planning, engineering and infrastructure construction at the FCDD. In addition to this, ILC funding the upsizing of sewer line extensions along a major portion of Noblestown Road to accommodate future development in the area and also donated land for the construction of the Midway Sewer Authority Treatment Facility.

The Fort Cherry Development District has been noted as one of the most impactful development initiatives in Southwestern Pennsylvania and serves as one of the few places offering Class A Industrial Space in Washington County.
