The Bethlehem Food Co-Op plans to open its member-owned grocery store in 2022 in a new Peron Development project on East Broad Street in the city.
Peron plans to raze the one-story structure at 250 E. Broad St. and build a four-story apartment building with the co-op’s full service grocery store as the first-floor tenant. Peron is partnering with Boyle Construction on the project.
After a decade of planning, the Bethlehem Food Co-Op has signed a lease for space where it will open a full-service, community-owned grocery store next year.
The future of Bethlehem’s Walnut Street garage needs fresh eyes, parking authority says

Faced with the prospect of spending $800,000 to repair a parking deck it might tear down in a few years, the Bethlehem Parking Authority is looking for a fresh perspective.
That’s why the authority reversed course last week and terminated all of its contracts with Desman Design Management to hire THA Consultants to work on the Walnut Street garage. THA is tasked with studying the condition of the 45-year-old garage and creating an emergency repair plan, something Desman was already undertaking.
The authority’s board met Feb. 24 and voted to hire Desman its parking and engineering consultant for the last seven years to handle the engineering services and bidding for Walnut Street’s emergency repairs, estimated at $800,000.
