Did you know that Lancaster's City Council have identified Community Pride and Litter Abatement as a strategic objective?

It takes 2-5 years for a tossed cigarette butt to break down, and ONE MILLION YEARS for a plastic bottle to break down. If you see it, pick it up. The benefits of a clean community are many. Higher property values, community pride, sense of ownership in our community, attraction of new businesses, and a more attractive environment. Participate in our Trash Off on March 18 - more information next page!

Citizen contacts City and asks to participate in the Cost Share program.

Citizen’s name is entered into the next group list. When funding becomes available, city staff contacts citizens by individual authorization letter, requesting a response indicating interest to continue with the program.

For each positive response, city staff visits the property and assesses the sidewalk repair needs.

City staff sends the citizen an individual quote for the cost share, a sketch of the replacement limits and a 30-day deadline for submitting payments.

City staff then prepares a contract with the residential property owner.

The work is completed by the city and comes with a one-year warranty.
