New senior living development set to open in Lancaster next year

LANCASTER − A new senior living complex is planned for the city.

The 81-unit, 78,000-square-foot residential care development will be located on the property adjacent to the VC Bend apartment community on Timbertop Street.

Lemon Development has started construction and the development is set to open in the first half of next year. The company has built senior housing in Hudson and Danbury and has worked in Ohio for more than 40 years.

“As growth continues in our county, the need for housing, particularly for older adults, continues to grow as well,” Fairfield County Economic Development Director Rick Szabrak said in a news release. “This project will fulfill that need while also accommodating the people in our community with memory loss who require extended care.”
