  • Allentown Neighborhood Improvement Zone Development Authority on Wednesday, April 22 at 6 PM – Providing updates on the NIZ’s impact on the city.

All meetings will be held in Council Chambers in Allentown City Hall, located at 435 Hamilton Street. Free parking is available in the Government Deck for all Council meetings.

These meetings seek to provide a space for residents to witness their elected officials and community partners collaborating in real time. Agendas will be informational and will focus on areas for future action and improvement. No votes will be taken.
