Barrett Economic Development Corporation

08/28/2026

Please join us in welcoming Angela Jones-Price to the BEDCo team!

We’re excited to announce that Angela has joined the Barrett Economic Development Corporation as our new Executive Assistant!

A lifelong Barrett Township resident and Pocono Mountain High School graduate, Angela brings 30 years of professional experience as a Legal Assistant, along with deep roots and a genuine commitment to our community.

Many Barrett residents may already know Angela from Magnolia Streamside Kitchen or through her service as Chairman of the High Acres Park Committee. Whether through her professional career or her volunteer service, Angela has spent years giving back to the community she calls home.

Angela is also the proud mother of two daughters, Clara and Lily, a new grandmother, and an avid women’s basketball fan.

We’re thrilled to have Angela on board and look forward to the experience, energy, and spirit she’ll bring to BEDCo and the work we do throughout Barrett Township!

On August 19, 2026, BEDCo and its retained design and land use planning firm, Derck & Edson, presented these proposals at a Barrett Township Board of Supervisors Workshop. These concepts are intended as a starting point for continued community feedback and engagement, and ultimately, the decision to move forward with all or part of any proposals rests with the elected government of Barrett Township.

You can view the entire presentation that was made at the Workshop on our website here:

We invite the community to join us Wednesday at 6:30 PM for Barrett Township’s Board of Supervisors Workshop and a presentation of proposed improvements to the BARC building and surrounding space.

Come see the concepts developed by Derck & Edson, ask questions, share your thoughts, and help provide input as we explore the future of this important community facility.
