Candidate Grubb at New St. and the Greenway:

  • symbolic epicenter for preservation v. development issues
  • can find the poster children here for out-of-scale development
  • make no mistake, we need development to grow our tax base
  • current developers and city leaders need to respect the vision of past leaders in establishing the historic district
  • canyon-like feel of massive structures has negatively impacted spirit of this multi-cultural arts district
  • no campaign donations from Bethlehem major developers so development proposals stand on their own merit
  • no payback for donations
  • able to judge projects objectively

Let’s believe in a better Bethlehem.
