Seventh Street's successes—and our role as likely future host for an Italian culinary school—were featured in a WFMZ story. Check out the video.
Here's Peter Lewnes, quoted in a Morning Call article from January 3rd:
Peter Lewnes, manager of Allentown's Seventh Street Development Committee, attributes Emmaus' success in part to its attractive storefronts and low vacancy rate -- the more occupied shops a town has, the more other business owners are apt to move in.... "We went from a 40 percent vacancy rate [on Seventh Street] to about 100 percent occupied,'' Lewnes said. ''In this economy there has been a lot of forward movement.'' He said there has been a push for years to create a similar program along the Hamilton Street corridor, but funding for that has not been available.
And today, from Michael Molovinsky's blog:
Peter Lewnes has been doing an excellent job of filling in the gaps on 7th Street, and applying facade grants in a seemingly appropriate way. On Saturdays one is hard pressed to find a parking space. I believe that his enthusiasm, and a growing community's ambition, has finally awakened 7th Street from a long sleep.
Have you noticed the wind-whipped flags that now mark many Seventh Street businesses? They feature the city's seal, and fly above businesses and properties that have received facade facelifts through the Seventh Street Development Committee.
