Hourglass Foundation

About Us
Mission

The Hourglass Foundation was formed to champion and facilitate effective growth management in order to make Lancaster County an even better place to live, work and visit. We believe that Lancaster County can have growth and economic prosperity without losing its unique character and enviable quality of life.

THE HOURGLASS
The Hourglass isn't like other non-profit organizations.  And we think that's a good thing.  We aren't narrowly focused on a single topic or passion, instead we concern ourselves with the complexities of growth that impact quality of life in Lancaster County.  We believe that informed decision-making on legacy issues requires thorough examination and objective analysis.  The key is defining the problem and rethinking the possibilities with fresh ideas to deliver the best and most sustainable options.
 
The Hourglass often works below the radar to provide information, analysis and recommendations to elected officials and community leaders.  And we are watchdogs; monitoring emerging issues and establishing expectations for due diligence.  We help create the conditions for change that will benefit Lancaster County in the years to come.  And we try to keep the public informed about growth.
 
HISTORY
The Hourglass Foundation, founded in 1997, is a non-partisan, non-profit organization focused on making Lancaster County an even better place to live. The Hourglass works to raise awareness, facilitate discussion, provide information and create the conditions that will allow residents to understand and participate in decisions that impact the quality of their lives. We believe that strategic growth management is critical to controlling our destiny and protecting Lancaster County’s unique character and special quality of life.
