Having just won their third straight District 11 Class AA boys tennis title, Moravian Academy's Lions are roaring. Although not commonly thought of as a jock school, 80% of its student body participates on at least one team in soccer, tennis, golf, cross country, field hockey, basketball, swimming, softball, baseball, and lacrosse. And Bill Stank, Moravian Academy's Director of Campus Facilities, told Bethlehem Township Commissioners at their May 16 meeting that the school would like to upgrade its associate membership with PIAA District 11's Colonial League. Stank and Attorney Blake Marles reviewed sketch plans for the first major expansion of Moravian Academy's athletic facilities since Walter Hall was constructed in 1962. A new, 40,000 sq. ft. gym is being proposed on the 66-acre campus, located off Green Pond Road, along with a 70-car parking lot.
According to Stank, an extra gym will enable multiple practices, as well as making indoor batting cages possible.
Commissioners not only endorsed the proposal, but suggested that the preliminary and final plan be considered simultaneously.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
