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.

Matching Funds Campaign
We are continuing the good fight to keep our residents and other communities safe. We have 3 warehouse projects in Conditional Use Hearings or Zoning Board Hearings with one warehouse on Long Lane Rd waiting in the wings. There are FIVE proposed warehouses totaling over 3.7 MILLION sq. ft. Our fight is NOT over!
PLEASE, consider donating to the Maxatawny Community Coalition (MCC) during our matching funds campaign to help cover legal fees and expert witnesses during the hearings for the Duke warehouses and 23 Max LLC (Hilltop & Long Lane warehouses). Click on the DONATE button below.
