Spotlight on Sponsors: Lancaster Development, Inc.

By Gail Browning

Since 1947, Lancaster Development Inc. has been a pillar of the greater Schoharie County community. Based in Richmondville, NY, and serving upstate New York and northern Pennsylvania, this three-generation, family-owned business provides all aspects of heavy highway construction and commercial and industrial site work, and does it safely and on-time. As one of the largest area highway contractors, they are proud to handle small projects with the same integrity and attention to detail.

Lancaster has received many awards and honors for quality and safety, including the Association of General Contractors NY Chapter Excellence in Partnering Award and the New York State Department of Transportation's “Perfect” Bonus Incentive .

Lancaster also demonstrates a genuine respect for the natural beauty of its sites, making habitat remediation a priority for sensitive areas. Every job location also has its own emergency response equipment to respond effectively to any potential environmental hazards.

Lancaster Development, Inc. has a long tradition of contributing to community organizations. We at Landis appreciate their sponsorship of our Perennial 5K Cross Country Forest Runs; some of their employees and families participate in the event!
