The departure of Lancaster County Prison from the east side of Lancaster city may open a rare redevelopment possibility, community and city leaders said Wednesday, but one that comes with sizable challenges. “Obviously this is an exciting opportunity for the city and especially the east side neighborhood. Here is Lancaster’s chance to transform a critical area, historically associated with pain, into a positive asset and extension of this neighborhood,” said Marshall Snively, president of the Lancaster City Alliance, a nonprofit that promotes the city’s growth and stability. The potential redevelopment opportunity surfaced Wednesday when the Lancaster County Commissioners announced they hope to move the 625 E. King St. prison to a 75-acre farm in Lancaster Township along the Conestoga River. They have not discussed what would become of the old prison site should the move come to fruition.
