Veteran Administration Community Clinic – Ribbon Cutting Ceremony

On November 27^th, The Lebanon Veterans Administration had a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony and Open House at 212 Willow Valley Lakes Drive, Willow Street to celebrate the opening of their newest out- patient clinic in Lancaster. Many VA, WVA & local dignitaries were invited to attend and Diane Poillon was asked to assist with the ribbon cutting along with Helen Fanus a long time VA Nurse Manager who moved to the new clinic when it opened on December 10^th.

The new clinic is almost twice the size of the current clinic in Greenfield and is able to offer more services for our Veterans. Willow Valley is very happy to welcome them to our WV Lakes Business & Medical Center as they take the last available suite in our 212 building. Many Veterans from the Willow Valley Communities and people from the surrounding neighborhoods came by to tour the new clinic and to enroll for services.

Willow Valley Square Shopping Center Update

The Square has gone under a lot of changes over the past few years with the addition of the Advance Auto Parts store and the renovation of the McDonalds. In 2018, the CVS and Fulton Bank moved across the street to Crossroads and Darrenkamp’s Market ended 86 years of serving the community. Giant Food Stores stepped into the Darrenkamp location with a big renovation to the store which took place over a 14 day period. The store is beautiful and people continue to come and check it out – many of the Darrenkamp’s employees were able to transfer over to Giant so there are a lot of familiar faces.

Willow Valley Crossroads Update

In 2018 we were very happy to welcome three new businesses to Crossroads. Both CVS/Pharmacy and Fulton Bank opened their new stores in April. Turkey Hill opened their newest store in October with MTO (made to order) food service which is a new design for them. All of these businesses, as well as Morr’s Range that opened in November 2017, are very pleased with the overwhelming welcome they have received from the Willow Street community.
