Allentown residents, we want to hear from YOU! 📣

The City of Allentown is developing a Climate Action Plan: a roadmap to a healthier, more resilient city for all of us. But a plan is only as strong as the community behind it and that means we need your voice in the room.

Join us for our first virtual community forum this week!

🗓️ Date: Wednesday, June 10
⏰ Time: 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM
📍 Where: Live on Zoom

We want to know:

● What should the Climate Action Plan include?
● What are your priorities for the future of Allentown?

If you care about your neighborhood, your health, housing, jobs, or the kind of city your kids grow up in, this conversation is for you. You don't need a background in climate or the environment to participate.

Let’s show up for the future of our city, together.

We deeply mourn the passing of City Controller and lifelong public servant, Jeff Glazier. Jeff dedicated his life, heart, and intellect to ensuring our community was fiercely cared for and responsibly guided.

As our Mayor, City Council, and City staff grieve the loss of a cherished friend and colleague, we invite the Allentown community to join us in reflecting on Jeff’s incredible legacy of service. We extend our deepest condolences to Jeff’s family, friends, and everyone whose life he touched. May his memory be a blessing.
