The Lancaster County Board of Commissionersâ planning is sometimes stellar, as is evidenced in the support of the Enola Low Grade Trail, the Susquehanna River Trail and the Public Safety Training Center. What is lacking in their vision, in my view, is the proposed location of a new Lancaster County prison.
There is no doubt there is a need for a new prison and, as some have expressed, Lancaster city will reap the benefits of redevelopment at the current site of the county prison.
What I believe is at odds with good planning principles is to take an undeveloped property â currently used for farming â that is surrounded by water on three sides and turn it into a prison site.

Local agencies are working to ensure that a national decrease in first responders doesn’t impact the safety of those in North Alabama.
Part of that process happened Friday night at the Public Safety Training Center as Huntsville Fire and Rescue held a graduation ceremony for its Bravo class.
“We have a need and we’re trying to stay on top of that curve and have adequate personnel to meet the needs,” Chief Howard “Mac” McFarlen said.
Bernardo’s defense attorney, Drew Deyo, argued the prosecution did not fulfill its burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
“On the grounds of criminal homicide, the basic element of the crime requires ‘person A’ killed ‘person B’,” Deyo explained. “The state has not satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt that my client is responsible for the death of Mr. Burnett.”
Deyo noted a number of key points in his closing argument:
The bullet that killed Burnett was never recovered.
The location of where Burnett was shot is unknown.
There was no blood evidence recovered from the scene on Grapevine Road.
