Heartland Homes is managed by an Upper St. Clair High School graduate.
Heartland Homes is now part of NVR, Inc. NVR completed the acquistition on the second largest homebuilder in Pittsburgh on Dec. 31.

That surely is news to Bridgeville residents, who thought the Main Street entrance was nixed when their town found information that the road is closed unless the two homeowners on both sides agree to reopen it. In fact, Gillespie told the USC planning commission that Bridgeville’s lawyer, Richard Ferris, wrote the township a letter saying they wouldn’t be contesting the connection. Our sister website at Upper St. Clair Patch reported on Monday that Gillespie insinuated …
