Summary
"Lancaster is situated in the center of the richest agricultural section of the East. The citizens are thrifty and progressive, and a large percentage are home owners. The City proper is hampered in growth by its narrow boundaries, but there is a large and growing population surrounding the city. This suburban population is closely allied to the city because of economic, social, and industrial conditions. The Lancaster Post-War Planning Counci, which included citizens of the city and the suburban area, was organized in 1943. Its first recommendation was that there be developed a Comprehensive Municipal Plan that would include Lancaster City and a three mile area outside the city...This report is published in order to acquaint the citizens with the recommendations and suggestions. It should serve as a guide for future development, and it should stimulate a keener interest in orderly, systematic, civic progress." [introduction]
