Some of these places are nothing but a couple of guys at a panel directing computer-driven forklifts around the floor. My first exposure to this 'look at all the jobs' lie was the old Keebler building in Fogelsville.

The Nor-bath trail should be scraped from Keystone Cement all the way to where this project is and rail lines put back in. FedEx Ground (and UPS) uses intermodal rail cars to move trailers across the country. Trailers loaded up from the west coast hubs could be loaded onto train cars and be sent directly to the new hub here. It wouldn't eliminate all the truck traffic but it would take some off the road. <br /><br />One of the biggest mistakes we made is the changing of old rail lines into bike paths when they knew the kind of growth we were exoecting<br /><br />Hank_HillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-60214348962071461812015-07-20T11:20:45.535-04:002015-07-20T11:20:45.535-04:00One point about the Chrin comment, which does look...One point about the Chrin comment, which does look like warehouse heaven right now. There are 1,000 acres at that site, but only 250 are zoned for warehouses, along the prerimeter. The rest will be business.

I think she's right that both these areas will see more businesses coming in to take advantage of intermodal. And I think South Bethlehem will see more residential but there are other pull factors there. My guess is that new jobs into Allen wont drive more residential just there but spread over several municipalities on both sides of the river along both 329 and 145.
