Allentown sets Vision 2030 meeting

The second of four community collaboration meetings for Allentown residents to engage in Allentown Vision 2030, the update to the city's comprehensive plan, will be held 6-8 p.m. Feb. 7 at South Mountain Middle School, 709 W. Emaus Ave.

Allentown Vision 2030 – Your City, Your Voice! will be the city’s new Comprehensive and Economic Development Plan that will chart a path for inclusive, equitable growth over the next 10 years. The plan will address the topics of housing, workforce development, economic opportunity, social equity, environment and conservation, community development, transportation, land use, historic preservation, open space, and a range of other concerns that affect the quality of life and vibrancy of the City of Allentown.

The meeting is an opportunity for the Allentown community to come together to build a collective vision for our future and where we will focus our work as we change and grow as a city over the next 10 years. Activities at the meeting will focus on potential redevelopment opportunities, partnerships and funding sources to create an actionable and implementable plan.

Community engagement and empowerment is the highest priority for Allentown Vision 2030. The City of Allentown Bureau of Planning & Zoning wants to hear from and engage with all residents across the city.
