It looks like the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. will be represented in the city of Lancaster’s 2013-14 budget.
During discussion of the budget at the Tuesday, May 14, meeting, City Councilwoman Tamara Green Garris requested that $3,000 be added to the budget to help fund a King Day parade next January in downtown Lancaster.
Green said the event would allow local residents to unite while also drawing visitors from outside the county. The money would come from the city’s hospitality fund.
