Block By Block
“Block By Block” is Mayor Danene Sorace’s Strategic Plan, focused on the people of the City of Lancaster and the fundamental work of City government. Carrying forward the four priorities of her administration, this plan will ensure that strong neighborhoods, safe places, sustainable economy, and sound government are more than words on paper.
