We had a fantastic time at the Northampton County Festival this Saturday (5/16) representing our club and NCC. We met with some incredible people, heard some great stories and of course sampled all of the yummy food trucks deliciousness - maybe even too much. We marveled at all of the vendor offerings, and learned so much at the Informational tables.
CANers were able to share not just the amazing pastries made by two of our members (Jordan and Asher) but also our native plants and the wedge project, plus our vision for a better environment and community in Northampton County and beyond.
Thank you to Tina Smith for inviting us to attend
(Had to brighten up the first photo cause the sun was so strong you couldn’t see the CANers otherwise)

NEW TOOL FOR RESIDENTS: Land Development Viewer

Palmer Township is happy to share the launch of a new Land Development Viewer Tool.

This interactive map allows anyone to view the location and progress of land development plans within the township. Additionally, when you click on a specific project, it provides you with a description of the project, along with links to view the most recent plan sets for the project.

This tool will enable the public to easily access information about proposed land developments, promoting enhanced transparency and information for everyone in the community. The tool will be updated monthly, and is subject to additional edits to improve functionality as it rolls out.

To view the Land Development Viewer tool, you can view it from the Planning Department page on the Township website or visit the following link: https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/0463df9fdf49497cb7ebca0871efa3e6
