Young developer behind Lancaster city Stadium Row apartment project chooses constructing over planning

About nine years ago, Ben Lesher reached a crossroads in his young career.

The Lancaster city resident liked doing urban planning, but a staff job with Lancaster developer Ed Drogaris had opened his eyes to another possibility.

“I enjoy thinking about creating places for people to work and live. Urban planners think a lot about that and create great plans,” Lesher said.

“But what I liked about working with Ed was, I felt that he was actually doing it. He was actually creating those places and implementing those plans.
