MC and ET article on BMW
Both the Express-Times (read it here) and the Morning Call (read it here) have articles on the BMW distribution center to be located in Lower Nazareth.
I am so excited, we are getting another distribution center! I can't wait for the trucks to start rolling in.
Way to go Lower Nazareth Township supervisors, and more important, THANK YOU Ed Rendell! You have done so much to contribute to making this area a great place to live.
If you read the Business Section article in the Morning Call, you will see that county officials see this area as being too saturated with distribution centers already, and the number of jobs created for the amount of land taken up is a bad trade off.
Oh, and of the 118 jobs to be created over the next three years, the article states that 75% of them will be filled by employees from New Jersey that are already working at their existing distribution center.
So, the benefit to us is more open space taken up by a sprawling warehouse, more truck traffic on our local roads, fewer tax dollars (since they are getting tax breaks) and only about 30 net new jobs that are classified as low paying and unskilled over the next three years.
Yes, our current group of supervisors and township manager in LNT are doing such a great job.
