County Board supports motor sports

The Lancaster County Board has formally thrown its support behind motor sports activities in the county.

On a 4-0 vote, commissioners on Tuesday approved a resolution that supports such development and pledges its aid. Commissioner Bernie Heier was absent.

The board will offer “appropriate government resources” in locating and developing a motor sports facility somewhere that maximizes economic benefits and minimizes negative impacts for nearby landowners and users.

The declaration stems from a recommendation from the Motor Sports Task Force. The volunteer advisory committee spent more than two months studying the possible ways a motor sports facility could affect life in Lancaster County, from economic gains to social drawbacks.
