Today, we officially broke ground on the Village of Lancaster’s new Downtown Pocket Park!
Funded through a NY Forward grant, this project will transform an underused space next to the Municipal Building into a welcoming public gathering place.
When completed this fall, the park will feature:
-
 Beautiful landscaping
-
Comfortable seating areas
-
A pedestrian walkway connecting the Municipal Building parking lot to Broadway
This project represents another step forward in creating a more vibrant, walkable downtown for residents and visitors to enjoy.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us this morning to celebrate, including elected officials, project partners, residents, business owners, and community members. We also extend our appreciation to everyone who helped bring this vision to life.
Construction begins later this month, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone back for the ribbon cutting this fall. Stay tuned for project updates!
