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.

ATHOL While many people in town may not realize it, an official municipal board exists for the sole purpose of increasing the number of shade trees throughout the town. Shade Tree Commission member Laurie Parker said the board has been existence for quite some time.
“We’ve been doing this for a number of years,” Parker told the Athol Daily News. “I think my parents have been on the committee for, I would say, at least 15 years.
“Our committee gets together throughout the year to basically talk about what we’re going to do for fundraising and things like that. Then our ultimate responsibility is, in May, to purchase the trees from a local nursery and get them out to the people who qualify under our guidelines, who have applied for shade trees.”
