The Murrysville Council convened on October 2, 2025, to discuss several key agenda items, including a public hearing for a liquor license transfer and updates on community programs.
The meeting began with a public hearing regarding the proposed transfer of a liquor license for a new restaurant, Pizziolo Primo, which will occupy the former Atria's restaurant location. Charlie Caputo, counsel for the applicant, Primo Murray LLC, presented details about the business, which is a small regional chain specializing in upscale Italian cuisine, including homemade brick oven pizzas and various pasta dishes. The restaurant aims to enhance the dining experience by offering a full bar, including beer, wine, and spirits.
Caputo explained that the liquor license is being transferred from Mount Pleasant, and the process requires a public hearing to gather community feedback. The restaurant is expected to operate Monday through Thursday from 11 AM to 9 PM, Friday and Saturday until 10 PM, and Sunday until 8 PM. The goal is to open early next year, pending approval from the Liquor Control Board.
Following the public hearing, the council moved to its regular voting session. A roll call confirmed the presence of all council members. The council approved the consent calendar items, including the minutes from the previous meeting.
Mayor Simon provided updates on community initiatives, including the curbside leaf collection program set to begin on October 25, 2025. Residents are reminded to schedule pickups in advance, with a limit of 20 bags per collection date. Additionally, the mayor announced the upcoming "Trick or Treat on the Trail" event, which will take place on the same day at the Murrysville Community Park, encouraging local businesses to participate.
Chief Administrator Mike provided updates on public works projects, including the start of a crack seal program for various roads and the postponement of the Chambers Park Tennis Court replacement until early spring due to scheduling and weather constraints.
The meeting concluded with a reminder for residents to engage in upcoming community events and to stay informed about local initiatives.
