South Square: A Unique New Concept in
Community Revitalization for Lancaster

South Square is a proposed revitalization effort to create a new neighborhood in downtown Lancaster centered around the 100 block of South Queen Street. But South Square can only become reality if public and private partners at the city, county, state and federal level help in many small and large ways.

This area is an important ‘gateway’ block into the city, and everyone will see significant improvements to building facades, sidewalks, lighting and more. On the west side of the block, the plans call for construction of 62 new, energy-efficient workforce housing units and converting the Beaver Street alley into more attractive link between adjacent neighborhoods and the downtown business district.
