At this year’s Milestone Awards, Lancaster City Alliance presented a special honor to Mayor Danene Sorace in recognition of her unwavering support for Lancaster’s small business community. For eight years, Mayor Sorace faithfully attended the bi-annual Milestone Award Merchant Meetings, celebrating entrepreneurs, championing their successes, and showing genuine commitment to the individuals who power our city’s economy.

Her presence was never ceremonial — it was consistent, intentional, and deeply valued by business owners and community partners alike. As this gathering marked her final Milestone Awards before completing her mayoral term in January, the LCA team and those in attendance took a moment to reflect on and appreciate her steadfast partnership.

To commemorate her eight years of leadership and dedicated advocacy, Mayor Sorace was presented with a special recognition: her own Eight-Year Milestone Award, offered with heartfelt gratitude from Lancaster City Alliance and the entire business community she has so meaningfully supported.
