A brand new building is on its way for Lancaster, New York.

The building will be the site for a brand new coffee shop, a long stay apartments/motel business, and some retail spaces. It is going to be on the corner of Bowen and Broadway where the old Desiderio's Restaurant and Theater (which has moved over on Como Park Blvd. by Union and changed names to Bobby J's).

A man named Lucas James bought the property late last year and the project will cost approximately $4 million.

  • If you know what GBP means....you are 100% from Lancaster.
  • You have had the best chocolate chip lunch cookies on the planet earth.
  • You know this woman...MRS. ARBER.
  • Speaking of names: you know at least, one of these three: CEASAR, OSCAR, AND PAVELJACK.
