The Easton Area School Board agreed not to levy real estate taxes on 13 Easton properties next year and gradually collect taxes until they finally collect full taxes on the properties in 10 years.
This isn’t some “tax scam” but a well-reasoned decision to spur redevelopment in the city, according to Easton Mayor Sal Panto Jr.
“In the suburbs you grow by building out. In the city you grow by rebuilding and adaptive reuse of existing structures,” Panto told the school board Tuesday. You can hear his comments on the meeting video on YouTube.

The Accu-Weather forecast for today was bad on Monday. It was bad on Tuesday. It s still bad today. Joe Lundberg says the Lehigh Valley and beyond will be getting its biggest snowfall totals in quite a while. We re going with a blanket average of 12-to-18 inches across the vast majority of the listening area, but in the Poconos there will be areas of two feet or more. Areas to our south will see amounts slightly lower, probably a little below a foot, as sleet and freezing rain try to mix in at the height of this storm this evening, Lundberg says. Lundberg believes the first bit of snow will begin falling between 2-and-4 o clock and will quickly pick up in intensity before finally tapering off Thursday morning.
