Canonsburg Welcomes New Park Board Member

Canonsburg Borough Council has appointed Trenton McPherson to the borough’s Park Board, filling an open seat for a five-year term beginning in November. McPherson, who works as a commercial real estate broker for Burns & Scalo, moved to Canonsburg with his family about three years ago from West Virginia. Borough Council President Richard Russo said McPherson’s enthusiasm for community spaces and his professional background made him an ideal fit for the role. “Trenton loves the park and the green space, and he’s been coming to meetings as a volunteer for the past three months,” Russo said. “The interests and ideas he’s bringing are very professional, and we think he’ll be a strong asset for the upcoming projects.” Russo noted that two major park projects are planned within the next two years — relining the pool liner and adding new amenities to the pool area. McPherson has already suggested replacing the old water slide with a new one, which could cost around $70,000. “The board needs some professional people to take on these projects, and we think Trenton is a good guy to do that,” Russo added. In other business, council approved Trick or Treat night for Friday, October 31, 2025, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Council also approved Range Resources’ 2025 Turkey Fund Drive, which will take place on the sidewalks at North Central and North Jefferson avenues on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
