LANCASTER COUNTY IS A SPECIAL PLACE. HOW WILL YOU MAKE IT EVEN BETTER IN THE FUTURE? PLACES2040 IS A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR LANCASTER COUNTY’S FUTURE – A CONVERSATION ABOUT THE KIND OF PLACE WE WANT THE COUNTY TO BE.
WHY DO WE NEED A PLAN?
LANCASTER COUNTY IS A SPECIAL PLACE. IT’S ALWAYS CHANGING, BUT WE CAN ADAPT TO THESE CHANGES WITHOUT LOSING OUR UNIQUE IDENTITY AND SENSE OF PLACE. TO DO THAT, WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT PLACES IN A NEW WAY. INSTEAD OF FOCUSING ON OLD BOUNDARIES, WE’RE FOCUSING ON WHOLE PLACES: COMMUNITIES, CORRIDORS, AND LANDSCAPES.
WHO’S LEADING THE EFFORT?
THE LANCASTER COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION IS COORDINATING PLACES2040, BECAUSE IT’S OUR JOB TO ENSURE THAT LANCASTER COUNTY REMAINS A SPECIAL PLACE IN THE FUTURE. WE DO THAT BY FACILITATING DIALOGUE, CREATING SHARED PLANS AND VISIONS, AND HELPING COMMUNITIES ACHIEVE RESULTS.
WHO’S PARTNERING WITH US?
SEVENTEEN COUNTYWIDE AND CITY ORGANIZATIONS HAVE JOINED TOGETHER TO EDUCATE, BUILD AWARENESS, AND ENGAGE THE PUBLIC IN CREATING THIS PLAN. WE’RE CALLING THEM PARTNERS FOR PLACE.
THIS IS YOUR PLAN.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION IS MANAGING THE PROCESS, BUT THE PLAN IS A RECIPE FOR WHAT ALL OF US CAN DO TO IMPROVE LANCASTER COUNTY. WHAT KIND OF FUTURE DO YOU WANT TO SEE?
