- Share via
Lancaster City Council members agreed Monday to buy a 20-acre vacant site on the city’s east side for $750,000, with plans to encourage development there of a mobile home park for low- to moderate-income residents.
Council members, sitting as the city’s redevelopment agency, voted 4 to 0 to approve the purchase from I and 30th Street East Properties, a general partnership headed by Joseph Rivani. The site is at the southeast corner of 30th Street East and Avenue I.
A $1.1-million city purchase of 22.5 acres from Rivani last December, without an appraisal or public vote, led to new city policies requiring both.
