The City of Lancaster is committed to ensuring the success of the neighborhoods that make up our City. We are working across departments, using data more effectively, partnering with residents, businesses, and non-profits to address the unique needs of every neighborhood, block by block. This work is championed by the Department of Neighborhood Engagement.

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.
