Our Future Lancaster
The City of Lancaster is in the process of updating their comprehensive plan, which was last prepared in 1993. The comprehensive plan will serve as a foundation for decision-making as it relates to future development, with a focus on community outreach to help understand what is most important to the local community. On May 24, 2023, the City of Lancaster released draft policies and maps after carefully studing the city and hearing from over 5,000 residents.
