A hearing in accordance with Pennsylvania’s Act 34 of 1973 - sometimes known as the “Taj Mahal Act” - will be held at 6 p.m. on Monday, July 16, in the auditorium of Manor Middle School, 2950 Charlestown Road, Lancaster. The public meeting will include a description of the proposed renovations and construction, along with presentations on the educational, physical, administrative, budgetary, and fiscal aspects of the project. Members of the public will have the opportunity to comment on the project.
The proposed improvements include upgrades to the high school’s HVAC, plumbing, electrical, fire suppression, technology, and security systems, along with the replacement of major sections of the school. A new athletic wing is planned, along with a 900-seat auditorium and band, chorus, orchestra, and ensemble rooms.
