Envision LV Discusses Growth at Macungie Institute Tonight

Residents concerned with how the East Penn region will grow over the next 20-50 years are invited to express their concerns at a public meeting tonight at 6 p.m at the Macungie Institute on Main Street in the Borough of Macungie.

"Lets determine our future by choice, not by chance," is the guiding principle of the "Envision" meeting.

The meeting is the second of many to be held this fall throughout the Lehigh Valley to get peoples' opinions on what kind of quality of life they want to have once the building boom is finished. The population of the Lehigh Valley is expected to keep growing at a rapid pace. Join others who want to make sure we don't destroy our quality of life with overdevelopment, congestion and loss of our beautiful open space.

RENEW Lehigh Valley, a consortium of local officials and citizens, is sponsoring the meetings. If you care about where we are going and what we are becoming, please attend and give your input.

See you tonight at 6pm at the Institute?

FYI a second local meeting will take place in Lower Macungie 7-9 p.m. on Oct. 16 at the Lower Macungie Comunity Center.
