Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Easton public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
GWG Rock LLC Northampton Street development settlement
A six-story mixed-use building on three vacant, blighted lots near Fifth and Northampton was blocked when the zoning board tied on variances. The settlement adds the required common amenity space and lets the project move forward — council members voiced support.
Historic Preservation
Easton locals are pushing back against rapid downtown development to protect the city's historic vibe. City leaders are stuck in the middle, trying to figure out how to grow without losing the neighborhood's unique character.
South Side Edible Walkway Project
Council expressed strong support for the South Side Edible Walkway project, which connects local gardens and promotes food access and community walkability.
