About 717 Data
Updated
717 Data is a local brief: what is opening, closing, changing hands, being built, or going through county plan review in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. It is a set of dated, sourced lists. Each row cites a public article or notice.
Coverage
717 Data covers Lancaster County in full. York, Lebanon, and Harrisburg-area items appear when the project or closing is large enough to matter here. Berks is context only. We do not cover the entire 717 area-code map.
The current edition covers 2025-01-01 through 2026-09-26. Twelve Lancaster County towns and seven corridors have their own pages. Every other municipality appears on the ledger pages.
How to read a status
Statuses are as of the cited article or notice date. A later row is needed to say anything changed. An opening marked “open” in a January article is not confirmed open today.
- rumored
- Reported as possible, not confirmed by the business.
- announced
- The business or developer said it is coming. Not open.
- approved
- A municipal or state approval was reported. Construction not confirmed.
- build-out
- Construction, renovation or fit-out under way.
- open
- Reported open as of the source date.
- winding-down
- Closing announced, still operating.
- closed
- Reported closed as of the source date.
- withdrawn
- Plan, petition or project dropped.
- delayed
- Reported on hold or postponed.
- unknown
- The source does not settle it. County plan reviews and public notices use this because their outcome is not recorded.
What this is not
- Not a complete list of businesses, filings or permits.
- County plan reviews (LCPC) are advisory reviews for the 2026-09-14 meeting only. They are not municipal building permits.
- LNP | LancasterOnline is metered. Article bodies were not read; rows rest on headlines, ledes and public pages.
- Municipalities are never guessed. When a source names only a postal town, the row says “not stated” and stays off town pages.
- No owner or officer names are published.
