Affordable housing, quality of life and homeless services make up the bulk of Lancaster City Councilâs five-year plan for using money it expects to receive from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

The proposed 20-story Willow Valley Mosaic apartment building in downtown Lancaster won a pair of key city approvals on Tuesday, though several more remain before construction can begin.
Lancaster City Councilâs 5-2 vote allows developer Willow Valley Living to demolish two existing buildings on the South Queen and West Vine streets property and to build a structure with an appearance as proposed.
Council took the advice of the city Historical Commission, which had recommended by a 6-0 vote last month that council approve the two âcertificates of appropriatenessâ for the project, a venture that would create the countyâs tallest building and cost more than $90 million. The commission weighed in because the site is in the cityâs Heritage Conservation District.

Willow Valley Communities on Monday announced plans to develop a 20-story apartment building in downtown Lancaster, across the street from Southern Market Center.
The 244-foot-high building would be the tallest in Lancaster County, surpassing the 19-floor Lancaster Marriott at Penn Square a block away by 34 feet.
Named Willow Valley Mosaic, with an estimated cost exceeding $90 million, the upscale development would consist of 147 apartments as well as a host of resort-quality amenities for its residents, who would be ages 55 and up.
Mosaic also would include two restaurants and several small stores that would be open to the public.
