Responding to greater community growth pressures and to a culturally eroded, motorist-oriented village core, Lancaster County’s West Lampeter Township sought guidance for future expansion of its historic Lampeter Village. With our project team members and dedicated local stakeholders, TCA participated in an intensive three-day planning effort to identify Smart Growth initiatives based on community input. Our 2009 plan was prepared following a thorough village analysis, a review of its history, and two public workshop presentations which produced strategies for compatible infill development, preservation of architectural landmarks, urban ‘greening’ initiatives, and connectivity of key village destinations with pedestrian-friendly village amenities.
