The Morning Call reports (read it here) that the Lehigh Valley Planning Commission will release a report announcing the extent to which development has slowed in the Lehigh Valley.
The article reports the good news is that this slow down will give municipalities a chance to catch their breathe and plan for how they want to address open space in the future.
The article notes, "While 17,348 homes were listed for sale last year in the Valley, only 7,231 sold, according to the Lehigh Valley Association of Realtors." And that "Building permits issued Valley-wide dipped to 2,060. That's a drop of more than 900 in one year, and a drop of nearly 1,700 -- or 46 percent -- since 2005, according to the report."
