According to Lancaster Township manager Bill Laudien, March 31 at 7:00 PM has been chosen for a public meeting at the Maple Grove Community Building to discusst the proposed relocation of the fire house and other services to Lancaster Community Park.
Laudien stated further information will be forthcoming as we draw closer to the event.
NewsLanc suggests that interested parties discuss the format with the township officials at least two weeks before the event. Unlike the public meeting last year held by Franklin & Marshall College and Lancaster General Hospital to discuss the relocation of the Norfolk Southern railroad yard when officials rigidly controlled who could speak, when, for how long, and did not allocate a block of time for opponents of the project, it is important that the planning and organizing of the township meeting be transparent and fair to all.
This is not to suggest that the township would act in the underhanded manner described above.
Hey News Lanc stop with the stab at the Township. I know you were at the public meetings for the police issue and also at the last public meeting for the Fire Station and Mr. Laudien and the Lancaster Township officials should be given praise for the fairness of the meetings not to insinuate that they run a meeting like F&M and LGH. That last statement was un-called for!
Editors response: We will revise the article to avoid any suggestion that we are critical of the township. Thank you.
