Pettyjohn at the Lititz Moravian Church, hoping to use the borough as an example of success in maintaining both flourishing historical and industrial districts amid urban sprawl-spawned population and traffic problems. “A lot of downtowns are going by the wayside,” said Pettyjohn, citing shopping centers and other overnight development projects as major contributors to problem of growth stress.

What impressed them the most, however, was how well-equipped Lititz is for a town of approximately 9,000 residents. Jack Garner, assistant executive vice president for PSAB, said that Lititz was chosen for the video because of its positive planning history, adding that the borough stands out as a beacon of hope in one of the fastest growing sections of the state. “I’ve been through Lititz and I think it’s certainly one of the nicer boroughs,” he said.
