WAYNESBURG Greene County Planning Commission granted final approval Monday to plans for the construction of a four-story apartment building for seniors on High Street in Waynesburg.

The 52-unit building, being developed by PIRHL Development LLC of Warrensville Heights, Ohio, will be built on the northeast corner of the intersection of High and East streets.

I think it will be an attractive addition to that corner, Todd Robie of PIRHL told the commission.

The L-shaped building will be constructed into the hillside and have its first floor and parking areas accessible from Nazer Street, Robie said.

The building will contain one- and two-bedroom apartments designed for independent seniors, 62 or older. Plans also call for a community room as well as space for activities and support services, Robie said.

Groundbreaking for the project could be held as early as April.

Plans for the project were earlier approved by Waynesburg Zoning Hearing Board. Borough council, in addition, agreed to contribute $50,000 toward the project over three years.
