Giant Donates Twenty Benches to Lehigh Valley communities

One of the things that I talk most about in regards to Main Street is the need for private-public partnerships. In order for urban communities to revitalize, private enterprises must step up to the plate and assist these communities in any way possible.

I'm pleased to say that another Lehigh Valley business has met the challenge. Giant supermarkets, with twelve locations in Lehigh and Northampton, has donated twenty benches to Lehigh County communities. Eight will go to Allentown, while the remaining twelve will go to three BBRP communities: four to Alburtis, four to Hellertown and four to Coopersburg.

The donation was announced yesterday in the Allentown Arts Park at a press conference hosted by Lehigh County Executive Don Cunningham and Allentown Mayor Ed Pawlowski. Click here to watch the story.
