NEWS RELEASE
Hellertown Business Revitalization Program releases Hellertown-Lower Saucon Restaurant Guide

Guide designed to promote Saucon Valley restaurants and eateries

Hellertown, PA (February 15) – Michael Schlossberg, Hellertown Business Revitalization Coordinator, announced today that the Hellertown-Lower Saucon Restaurant Guide has been printed and is ready for distribution. The guide gives information and discounts on 35 restaurants and eateries in Hellertown and Lower Saucon. It will be displayed at government centers, tourist attractions and other local businesses.

“Very few people realize that there is a wide variety of eating options in the Saucon Valley,” noted Schlossberg. “Capitalizing on this strength is one of the keys to revitalizing Hellertown’s Main Street.” The Hellertown Business Revitalization Program (HBRP) also purchased brochure racks with the HBRP logo. They will distribute these racks to local merchants so the guide can be easily seen and distributed.

The guide was developed in conjunction with the Hellertown Business Revitalization Program and the Hellertown-Lower Saucon Chamber (partner of the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce). All information was collected by volunteers of the HBRP. The Hellertown-Lower Saucon Chamber was the primary sponsor, contributing $1,200 towards the publication of the guide. Other sponsors placed advertisements. All of the profits will be used towards the ongoing revitalization efforts of Hellertown.

The Hellertown Business Revitalization Program is a participating community in the Borough Business Revitalization program, a regional Main Street Program. It is a partnership between the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development, Lehigh & Northampton counties, the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce, the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce Foundation and the nine Boroughs: Alburtis, Bangor, Bath, Catasauqua, Coopersburg, Hellertown, Macungie, North Catasauqua and Wilson. The goal of the program is to revitalize the urban cores of the participating communities.
