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.

We are continuing to support our Township leadership through research, expert testimony and additional legal advice to make sure our ordinances are followed by mega warehouse developers. We hope to keep our residents and other communities safe. We have 2 warehouse projects in Conditional Use Hearings or court appeals. There are now SIX proposed warehouses totaling over 4 MILLION sq. ft. Our fight is NOT over!
PLEASE, consider donating to the Maxatawny Community Coalition (MCC) to help cover legal fees and expert witnesses in preparation of the hearings. Thank you!!
