With so many folks out of work these days and looking for new careers, it pays to be prepared with skills that make you stand out from the crowd if you’re looking for a job.

And that’s the idea behind York Technical College’s new Lancaster Education Center.

Operated by the school’s Corporate and Continuing Education Department, the new center is set to open Feb. 1 at the former Founders Federal Credit Union’s call center located at 3758 Charlotte Highway (U.S. 521) between Lancaster and Indian Land.

Habitat for Humanity’s dream of helping a local family own a house may come true much sooner than expected. 

Wells Fargo has donated a house to Habitat’s Lancaster County chapter. The brick house is located at 106 Penny St., which is off Meeting Street near Springs Memorial Hospital. 

The financial institution offered the house late last year and the local Habitat board voted Jan. 18 to accept. 

In an effort to dispel rumors and address facts about a proposed sanitary landfill, Lancaster County Administrator Steve Willis, Lancaster County Council Chairwoman Kathy Sistare and County Planning Director Chris Karres sat down Wednesday afternoon to talk facts, figures and the future of trash in Lancaster County.
