With respect and sadness, the City of Lancaster recognizes the passing of former Mayor Charlie Smithgall. Mayor Smithgall served as Mayor of Lancaster from 1998 to 2006. A public servant, business owner, pharmacist, and advocate for Lancaster, Mayor Smithgall’s devotion to this city was well-known and admired.
Now in my second term as Mayor, I have a profound respect for those answering the call of public service and leading in Lancaster’s City Hall. During his time as Mayor, Charlie worked to spur economic development, enrich the downtown, and build out the City’s infrastructure like the Red Rose Transit Authority’s Queen Street Station, Binns Park, Clipper Magazine Stadium, and the police station.
I offer my warmest sympathies to the Smithgall family.
Sincerely,
Danene Sorace
