NewsLanc obstructing City revitalization

Why does your organization do everything in its power to destroy the momentum of the revitalization of the city that is occurring? I live in the city and own my home. I am all for the convention center , First Friday, the ball park and the initiatives of the JSID and FM contributions to making Lancaster city a better and safer place to live.

Projects like the convention center capitalize on the campaign to bring more people and business into the city. The economy of our city needs more folks coming in to town and not leaving the city or only visiting the city for work.

We have so much in this little town to share and I don't understand why your organization is so bent against promoting business, home ownership and job creation downtown.


Editor's response: NewsLanc shares the writer's desire to promote business, home ownership and job creation downtown. We accept as a fact and will help support the convention center. But we don't want to allow Penn Square Partners to unfairly profiteer through questionable clauses in contracts that divert as much as $10 million from the taxpayer supported convention center to the privately-owned hotel .
