The proposed Lancaster County Cluster Subdivision overlay district starts like this: …“Cluster subdivisions are residential developments which offer an alternative to traditional subdivision design, with the principle purpose being to encourage open space in exchange for a reduced lot size.”
The cluster overlay distrct sounds great, with 20 percent of the subdivision with open space, a way to preserve rural character.

In the early morning of Sept. 5, 2013, our lives were changed forever. We lost our home to a massive house fire.
Thankfully Joe, and I, and our dogs, Whistle and Sassy, got out safely.
Joe and I want to take this opportunity to offer a heart-felt thank you to the first responders who came to our home that day.
To Lancaster County EMS, city firefighters and Lancaster Police Department officers, we cannot thank you enough for your heroic efforts to keep us safe.

I was raised in Lancaster and raised in the south. I became a musician at a young age, singing in church and playing in a school band. I am a writer, singer, producer and performer. Our band, Cleo White and the Identity Band, have played at numerous events, including for the Lancaster County Council of the Arts and at the Ballantyne Village. Band members include Larry Kelly, Evette Alexander and Iris Pringle.
