“I have been made to feel so welcome by others, including the many shop owners in our vibrant downtown.”


Cultivating Community, Together


“We really look out for each other at Steeple View Lofts,” said Gail. “Te ability to gather to talk, play games, or just be with others in the building and on our shared second floor deck creates so many opportunities to learn to know and care for each other.”


Working in the downtown area also allows Gail to grow connections. “I enjoy my work at C’est La Vie Bistro,” she says. “I find it easy to start conversations and get to know those who come into the restaurant. It has really been the continuation of good friendships for me.”


With her background in communications, Gail quickly found ways to expand her vision for encouraging people to invest in the community. While working for Lancaster Newspapers, she created a podcast series around building community and real estate options. Topics covered included educating people how to determine if renting or owning was their best option, as well as how to approach downsizing.


More recently, she began serving as the host of a new podcast series, Life in the Next Act. “It is a chance for me to give others a voice while inspiring, empowering, and informing. We cover many topics such as careers, wellness, finance, independence, and aging gracefully. In every episode we share stories, provide information, and introduce you to others navigating their next act.”


Te podcast originates and is produced from a nearby coworking space called Te Candy Factory. Gail loves the camaraderie of this place. “It is full of creative people committed to their craft as well as the larger community.” She works with professional media creators who provide technical expertise as she talks with interesting guests about their work and love of community.


Gail exemplifies the residents at SVL, according to Community Manager Norma Herr Harris. “She brings her joy and passion for life to Steeple View Lofts. Her friendly and outgoing personality are key as she finds ways to build community with her neighbors as well as the surrounding businesses.”
