City of Lancaster Commitments to Racial Equity
Mayor Sorace was elected to build a stronger and more equitable Lancaster, block by block. The City of Lancaster has made these commitments to racial and social equity. Some of this work started more than 2 years ago and some is NEW. It is all connected to what has been asked of the City by demonstrators this summer.

UPMC Rezoning
The owners of 250 College Avenue brought a rezoning petition to Lancaster City Council committee on August 3, followed by a public reading on August 11, a public hearing on August 27, and a second reading on September 8, leading to the adoption of the rezoning ordinance. The seller, UPMC, has reached agreement with a buyer and principal developer, Washington Place Equities (WPE) and HDC MidAtlantic, Lancaster’s largest local affordable housing developer, as a partner. Next, the developer will study the site ahead of submitting any requests to the City.
