Lancaster District Economic Prospects: Update Report
Lancaster District Economic Prospects: Update Report Final September 2017 Contents Executive Summary 1 2. Summary of the 2015 report and findings 1 3. 2017 Update 3 4. Key strengths 13 5. Key weaknesses 15 6. Key opportunities 19 7. Key threats 22 8. Developing a strategy 23 Appendix 1: List of interviewees 26 Executive Summary Context and purpose 1.1 In 2015 the Council commissioned a review, ‘Lancaster District: Prospects and Recommendations for Achieving Economic Potential’. This report provides a concise update to that review, culminating in a SWOT analysis of the district’s economy and highlighting key differences with the 2015 review. 1.2 This document is not intended to be an economic strategy for the district. Rather it is intended that it helps to inform thinking on developing an economic strategy for Lancaster District and the matters that such a strategy might address. Matters for further consideration by the Council in developing its strategy are clearly highlighted throughout the report where relevant. Ultimately, the Council’s goal is for inclusive growth – that is that local people have the opportunity to participate in realising economic growth for the District and likewise, that the benefits of growth are shared among residents. A strategy for economic development should be considered as a route towards achieving this goal, and improving quality of place and life across Lancaster District. 1.3 The findings in this report have been informed by structured consultation with a selection of stakeholders including Peel Ports, Duchy of Lancaster, Marketing Lancashire, Lancaster and District Chamber of Commerce, Lancashire County Council, Lancaster University and Growth Lancashire. -

Boyce III, Boyce Design Cover design and site map by Caroline Eddy, The Demuth Museum Developed in conjunction with the exhibition Lancaster’s Architect: C.

Emlen Urban The City of Lancaster, Pennsylvania – 1 – To Build Strong and Substantial Introduction In A History of Lancaster County (1924), historian H.M.J. Klein wrote of architect C. Emlen Urban: “Few men of Lancaster County can point to a finer array of useful and beautiful work than can Cassius Emlen Urban, of the City of Lancaster, whose skilled hand and artistic talent mean much to the civic dignity of this and other municipalities.” Over the span of a 45-year career in Lancaster, Urban’s designs included major commercial and public buildings, churches, hotels, schools, industrial buildings and private residences. His designs were stylistically eclectic, reflecting the influence of Queen Anne, French Renaissance, Gothic Revival, Beaux Arts and Colonial Revival periods. Although he spent his entire professional career living within the City of Lancaster, his designs were informed by knowledge of classical and historical architecture as well as work being produced by his contemporaries in larger cities such as Philadelphia and New York. -
