2011: Worst Year For LV Development in 26 Years
Northampton County Council Prez John Cusick serves as liaison to the Lehigh Valley Planning Comm'n, which offers comments on all planned subdivisions in Lehigh and Northampton County. According to Cusick, you's have to go back 26 ears, to 1985, to see a worse year for Lehigh Valley development.

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.
Its about time that development stops. Why would anyone want to move here anyway. An area run by old complaining busy body people.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it was the best year? This means less people from New Jersey moving here eroding the quality of life. How many new subdivisions, strip shopping centers and national chain retailers do we really need?
ReplyDeleteDevelopment not only means ripping up pristine land, but also redeveloping the brown-fields and vacant buildings in all our communities. It is extremely difficult, time consuming, and expensive to develop anything at all in Pennsylvania. Zoning Boards are used as swords to chop the head off development, and when they fail, planning commissions, DEP, the various authorities for sewer and water...it's amazing that anything is being done in the Valley.
ReplyDeleteI have to believe that well-conneted people like J.B. REILLY and JOE TOPPER, not to mention hard-working shills like WHAT-AM-I-GETTINGS-FROM-BIG-GOVERNMENT? and FUTURE DOWNTOWN ARENA ATTENDEE, would be inclined to strongly disagree with this "worst year" stuff ...
ReplyDeleteAber schoenes Tag zu dir, Herr O'Hare.

ReplyDeleteStop spending my (the taxpayer's money) so outrageously on $ 160.0 million dollar Palaces of Sport ...
... and I will stop complaining.
Compromise --- what do you say?
STILL CAN'T FORCE ME TO BUY HOCKEY TICKETS (AT LEAST NOT YET BUT OBAMACARE COULD SET A PRECEDENT)
J.B. Reilly and Joe Topper will set Lehigh Valley development back 30 years. So called economic is stealing tenants, lower lease payments and creating an excess of office space, devaluing property causing municipalities to raise taxes slowing any hope for a economic upturn.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder Mayor Callahan and Executive Cunningham are opposed to the NIZ. It's the first issue they have agreed on in years.
Stop any and all development!! Save the green spaces!! Raise taxes!!
