    "We've been stopping in every now and then and letting them know if they were ever interested in selling, we would be interested in buying," Damian Wisser said. "This is essentially a hometown dealership and that's what we were looking for."
    That opportunity came late last year when the Wade family decided to sell. The Wisslers took over the dealership on December 10, 2018.
    "We are happy to be in the community," Tessa Wissler said.

1/21/2019

 
    Landlords and tenants in Quarryville are subject to new regulations.    At their Monday night, January 7, public meeting, members of Quarryville's borough council approved additions to the community's property maintenance code. The amendment makes it easier for the borough to use the code for rental properties.

    The amendment went into effect immediately.

1/8/2019

 
    As Lancaster County's wettest year on record drew to a close, the Quarryville Borough Authority was stepping up its search for more water.
    The authority, which took over Quarryville's water system in 2017, began searching for another well site early last year. Until 2017, the authority had just operated the region's sewage treatment system and the borough operated the water system.
