Lancaster Common Council members have expressed support for a multimillion-dollar proposal that would turn a city soccer field into the location for a new humane society and child care center. A report says the project would split the current location of the Schacht Soccer Field into two parcels for use by the Grant County Humane Society and Maple Street Kids Daycare. Project developer Ted Schacht, who originally donated the land to the city in 1998, said the site is currently underused which would be remedied by the proposed development. City Administrator David Carlson says the next steps for the development include meetings between project leaders and nearby residents to get community feedback before the issue returns before the city council.
