Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Easton public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Comprehensive Zoning & SALDO Amendments
Proposed changes to Easton's zoning and land development rules are up for review. The commission's recommendation goes to City Council, which makes the final call — so this shapes how future development in the city is regulated.
Comprehensive Capital Improvements and Infrastructure Review
The council will review several new resolutions including applying for a PennDOT multimodal grant, purchasing a new street sweeper, testing LED lights, and addressing a legal settlement.
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.
