Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Lancaster County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Agricultural Conservation Easements
Three farms totaling about 126 acres in Penn, Drumore and Salisbury townships would be permanently preserved under Resolution 69, funded mostly by state money. This keeps the land in farming forever and adds to contiguous blocks of already-preserved farms.
Mosquito-borne disease control funding
The county accepted a $95,766 state grant to fund seasonal staff who trap and test mosquitoes, remove old tires, and educate the public about West Nile virus — all at no cost to county taxpayers.
