Lancaster City Council Adopts Ordinance Encouraging Increased Use of Alternative Energy Posted Date: 2/1/2010 11:00 AM

During its Jan. 26th meeting, the Lancaster City Council adopted an ordinance to stimulate increased use of alternative energy systems within the City. Specifically, the new ordinance permits the construction of small wind energy systems in commercial and industrial zones. It also allows solar power plants in rural residential zones with a conditional use permit.

“Our goal of making Lancaster the alternative energy capital of the world may sound like mere hyperbole, but we are continually drawing closer to making this goal a reality,” said Mayor R. Rex Parris. “This ordinance is yet another step in the right direction. The use of alternative energy conserves not only our environment and resources, but also saves money in the long-term, in addition to building a brighter future for our children and grandchildren.” Read More
