Future of the Lancaster Train Station Area: May 2023 First Friday Forum

On Friday, May 5 Hourglass was joined by Michael Domin, Principal Planner for Lancaster County Planning, and Ben Lesher, President & Founder of Parcel B Development Company, for a discussion on the future of the area surrounding the Lancaster train station. Lancaster County Planning recently released the Lancaster Train Station Small Area Plan which calls for putting the tools in place to redevelop the area as a gateway community with a combination of mixed land uses, high density housing, and bike and pedestrian friendly accommodations. Ben also spoke about his project the Yards, a proposed mixed-use development right across the tracks that will consist of 226 apartments, including 45 units of affordable housing, and retail space.
