Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank Relocates to North Franklin Township
What happened
The Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank is moving its main distribution center from Centerville to the former Crown Center mall in North Franklin Township. The organization is selling its 24,500-square-foot building in Centerville for $3.55 million. The food bank is negotiating a lease for a nearly 30,000-square-foot area at Franklin Crossroads, which is located in North Franklin Township.
