STRONG ECONOMY
2014-2015 ANNUAL REPORT
STRONG COMMUNITY “ While the visible improvements to the neighborhood definitely stand out—the new streetscape, green space and construction—the most noticeable change in the neighborhood is how it feels. The increased bike and foot traffic, networking between neighbors and sense of neighborhood pride make it feel more like a community.“
“ There is no better cheerleader for our City than Lancaster City Alliance. The support they have shown for City businesses and the work that they do securing the future of Lancaster make us proud to not only live here, but to invest in our own businesses here in the 100 Block of E. King Street. With the LCA, we are truly moving in the right direction.”

VIBRANT CITY
“ We’ve come a long way since the closing of Watt & Shand (The Bon Ton) Downtown when the City was struggling to keep businesses from leaving. Thank goodness for leaders like the LCA Team, Mayor Gray, the EDC, Tom Baldrige and others who have worked to make a difference!”
