But it is not the actual center of those who receive human services. The vast majority of those are spread out between Bethlehem and Easton. Thus it makes perfect sense to locate this facility between the two cities<br /><br />As goofy as it sounds it is actually cheaper to lease than it is to buy at first. This facility was built in 10 months. At the county on the land it would've taken three years. It would also be much more expensive because everything has to be bed out and because labor costs are so much higher. <br /><br />For many economic viewpoint this is the way to go.

It is stuck with all kinds of restrictions that do not apply in the private sector, and could spend double what the private sector pays to build. The smart thing is to lease and then buy. That is what the County did.Bernie O'Harehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756311150988957401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-66244430190403597752014-04-17T07:58:04.211-04:002014-04-17T07:58:04.211-04:00Same for the West Easton jail.
