City Partnership Completes Project A partnership between Lancaster City Alliance and Community Action Partnership of Lancaster County (CAP) has employed city residents in need of work and resulted in the completion of its first project at 602 Saint Joseph St. The project, known as Front STEPS, combines the expertise of both CAP and Lancaster City Alliance to engage the neighborhood and train workers to repair facades on various city streets. The property, formerly a condemned laundromat, received significant work to its
Victorian-era storefront, including installation of period-appropriate storefront windows, doors, and railings as well as repairs to the crumbling foundation. With these enhancements, the property can now offer neighborhoodserving business opportunities on the ground floor as well as safe and affordable housing on the upper floors. There are nearly 50 façade improvement projects currently in the works, with the goal to complete 65 façade projects by the end of 2020.
