The three story building at 26 E. King St. in downtown Lancaster has been a furniture store, a bank, and a drug store.
But in recent years, it has been empty and it has been neglected.
And, in the near future, it could be replaced.
On Thursday, members of the Lancaster city Historical Commission voted to recommend approval of plans to demolish the existing building and construct a new three story building in its place.
Plans for Fulton Bank‘s expansion near Lancaster‘s Penn Square may have been delayed by two years, but those plans have also increased in size by 75 percent.
The county’s largest bank now plans an eight-story office building, with a two-level underground parking garage at 23 E. King St.
Project planners on Tuesday provided no cost estimate for the 159.000-square-foot building which will replace the former Sovereign Bank building now on the site.
The building was originally slated for completion in 2013. In May, Fulton announced it would be begin construction next spring of a 91,000-square-foot, six story building that was due to be completed in spring 2015.
