The Lancaster County Community Development Program is administered by the County of Lancaster and funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. It has a three-part goal: the improvement of conditions for low and moderate income persons, the elimination of blight, and economic development. Lancaster County expects to receive more than $10 million over the next three years to be used to address this goal. These funds may be used by the County or channeled through the County to units of local government or other organizations which have eligible projects. Of the one hundred nineteen project proposals received, 103 projects, for which nearly $20 million have been requested, were determined to be eligible for consideration of funding. A review process through which a number of projects were recommended for funding has been completed, and public comment on these recommendations is now sought to assist in the development of a final funding application.
