Boroughs Initiative

Championing Borough Redevelopment

EDC is expanding the Boroughs Collaborative to bring economic development resources and public attention to opportunities in Lancaster’s Boroughs. Three years ago, EDC began working with a core group of community leaders to create strategies to promote development in boroughs, focusing on key re-development opportunities and education. Currently, the effort is being expanded. Taking a comprehensive approach, action teams are being formed and operationalized to focus on key strategies. These strategies include:

• Building economic development knowledge and capacity among borough leaders
• Promoting clean, safe and walkable downtown projects
• Attracting people to boroughs
• Strategically increasing businesses in boroughs
• Encouraging borough redevelopment
