Redevelopment
The Redevelopment Authority of Lancaster County planned the large-scale urban renewal of the Northwest Corridor for $75-million starting with the building of Clipper Magazine Stadium in 2003.[3] Lancaster General Health and Franklin & Marshall College followed with their own massive building projects, expanding their campuses northward. Franklin & Marshall acquired the property once occupied by Armstrong World Industries, a landfill, and a decommissioned rail yard.[4] The Franklin & Marshall Diplomats football team opened their new home, Shadek Stadium, in 2017 on the former Armstrong site.[5]
