Our Farmlands
How would our farmland, our Commonwealth's largest source of revenue be impacted if it were lost to commercial development?
Lamont LaClure, County Executive of neighboring Northampton County, speaks to CBS Sunday Morning about warehouse distribution center development: "No More!" Thank you, Mr. LaClure!
Our region, which is a geographic part of the greater Lehigh Valley, cannot absorb any more warehouses despite the short-term upside they suggest. Watch the recent CBS Morning News story about warehouses in our community.
