INTRODUCTION The Borough of Portland engaged Triad Associates in August, 2018 to develop a community and economic development strategy. The Portland Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan is intended to evaluate current conditions and make recommendations for future policies and transformational projects. The overall goal of the plan is to maximize the natural landscape and the history of the area, and to provide methods and means to recharge economic growth and revitalization throughout the Borough of Portland. The planning process included data analysis, field study and community input. One of the first steps in the process was to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) within Portland. The SWOT provided needed information on the current issues facing the Borough as well as providing insight into potential future interventions. All of the initial data and observations is laid out in the Background Analysis section. Building off of the Background Analysis as a foundation, the next piece is the Vision section. The Vision section lays out potential projects that align with the Vision for the Borough of Portland. This section also includes recommended policy changes and other potential transformational projects. The final section of the pan is the Action Agenda. The Action Agenda lays out the specific actions and steps for implementing the vision. The final section also includes potential funding sources that pair with the proposed projects. 4 | P a g e B. BACKGROUND ANALYSIS 1. PORTLAND TODAY The Borough of Portland has engaged Triad Associates to develop a Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan. The Plan includes goals, projects and other initiatives that will enhance the Borough. An important first step in any planning process, is the background analysis. The existing conditions will provide an overview of Portland, which will provide the foundation for future economic and community development goals and opportunities. The Borough of Portland was incorporated in 1876. First settled due to the logging trade, Portland then expanded with the introduction of the railroad, which served as a force for development. The railroad brought increased population and expansion of the business community. Since that time, Portland has remained stable in population. The current population is 519. The Borough’s area is .58 square miles. Route 611 runs through Portland’s downtown and provides a connection to Route 80. The Delaware River is the eastern boundary. Within the Borough there is a footbridge that connects to Columbia, New Jersey. Portland is located just south of the Delaware Water Gap and has unobstructed views of the Gap. Portland serves as a Gateway to the Poconos. Portland is also connected along Route 512 to the other Slate Belt Communities of Bangor, Pen Argyl and Wind Gap. This east west connection provides a link to Route 33 that runs from the Poconos to the Lehigh Valley. The Slate Belt is actively pursuing Map 1 - Location 5 | P a g e shared goals through the Slate Belt Rising initiative. The Slate Belt Rising Committee has begun implementing a strategy within the last several years that provides staff assistance and guidance on community development initiatives. Based on population projections, Portland is expected to grow modestly over the next twenty years based on current trends. However, there are other opportunities in Portland that could lead to additional growth and development. While small in size, Portland has a presence within the Slate Belt Region and numerous opportunities due to its outstanding regional location. This includes the Borough’s proximity to the Delaware River, Interstate 80, and regional employment and recreational opportunities. Portland has the ability to capitalize on its history and opportunities that can transform the Borough’s downtown and surrounding neighborhoods. 2. HOUSING The housing stock has not increased over the years as the population has remained the same. The number of units has remained consistent with no major developments proposed or constructed in the Borough. Over 50% of the housing units in the Borough are rentals. In the last several years, there Borough has seen very few new permits issued for housing development. Most years, there weren’t any housing permits issued. However, the makeup of the units has shifted from owner-occupied to renter-occupied in the last several years. This is a significant change since the 2000 Census, where 61% of all housing units were owner occupied. The housing stock is generally older, with 73% of the housing constructed before 1939. There are a variety of architectural styles throughout the Borough including numerous Victorians that have been preserved. One of the challenges facing all older communities is the maintenance and upkeep of existing housing stock. This is especially true for the renter-occupied housing stock throughout the Borough. 6 | P a g e The median household income is $45,250. The Poverty rate in the Borough is 21% and is higher than Northampton County, which is 9.8%. The unemployment rate is 16.1%, which is twice the Northampton County rate of 8.2%. These statistics have a direct impact on the housing conditions. The higher poverty rate means that households may be struggling to maintain their properties. Housing provides a direct link to economic development efforts. In order for the population to grow in the Borough, additional housing units would be needed. There is still available land throughout the Borough where new housing could be built or incorporated into a mixed-use development. 3. RECREATION Portland has a number of recreational resources. The Delaware River figures as a prominent natural resource and defining characteristic of Portland. Pedestrian access across the river via the Portland-Columbia Pedestrian Bridge provides views along the River as well as a connection to New Jersey. The pedestrian bridge provides uninterrupted views of the Delaware Water Gap. The River is heavily used for recreation activities. Portland is a terminus for many kayak, canoe and rafting trips that begin north of the Delaware Water Gap due in large part because of the access to the Delaware River from the downtown. During the summer months, hundreds of visitors pass through Portland on a daily basis as their excursion comes to an end in the Borough. The various trips bring new visitors to the area and provide an opportunity for the Borough to capitalize on these activities. Upon completion of their excursions, most people do not stay in Portland because there are few commercial, dining, or other recreational opportunities immediately available. 7 | P a g e The trail network is strong in the Portland Area. Northampton County has several key networks as well as several multi-state trails. On the next page are several key trail systems that pass through Portland. September 11th National Trail – 1,130-mile non-motorized hiking and cycling trail Liberty-Water Gap Trail – 130 mile that connects two national landmarks: the Delaware Water Gap and the Statue of Liberty The Appalachian Trail – 2,200 mile that runs from Georgia to Maine with 229 miles in Pennsylvania The September 11th National Trail, Liberty-Water Gap Trail and the Appalachian Trail are multi-state networks. Those trails generally accommodate day hikers. The Appalachian Trail accommodates both day hikers and through hikers. Each year thousands of hikers attempt to walk various lengths of the Appalachian Trail. Portland has the ability to capitalize on each of these existing trails and tie them to economic development efforts. The trail network provides a link to visitors that are coming to the area for the trails. In addition, Northampton County has been very active in connecting existing trail networks and key recreation sites. There are numerous assets throughout the County and municipalities that can be linked together to improve access and complete networks. Northampton County is working on a connection between Portland and Lake Minsi Trail. In addition, the County is working with the National Park Service at the Delaware Water Gap to make a connection to Minsi Lake. The County is also working on a signage plan that will incorporate cohesive signage at each of the County-owned parks. A feasibility study is currently underway to connect the Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor from Portland to Walnutport. The trail system already spans 165 miles. The trail runs from Northeast Pennsylvania down through the Lehigh Valley and Bucks County. Northampton County is facilitating the feasibility study. 8 | P a g e The National Wild and Scenic Delaware River is part of the National Geographic’s branded Geo-Tourism. The Wild and Scenic Delaware River Geotourism Program seeks to celebrate the health, beauty and diversity of the River. Key points along the river from Easton, PA to Hancock, NY can be listed on the map guide. The Map Guide through National Geographic allows people to build their trips that include entries of businesses, recreation and other key points of interest, which can be found at delawareriver.natgeotourism.com. People can determine their journey by mode of transportation such as walking, biking, driving or bus. With all of the recreation amenities and potential, there is an opportunity to capitalize on these resources. Existing resources and future trail development can contribute to other economic development efforts in the Borough. Map 2 – Northampton County Trails 4.

  • Weekly Session Notes Senate Republican Policy Committee – David G
    WEEKLY SESSION NOTES SENATE REPUBLICAN POLICY COMMITTEE – DAVID G. ARGALL, CHAIRMAN Monday, October 15, 2018 Senate Bill 689 (Eichelberger) would amend the Real Estate Appraisers Certification Act to expand the membership of the State Board of Certified Real Estate Appraisers from 11 members to 13 members. In addition to six appraisers, the Secretary of the Commonwealth, the Attorney General and the Secretary of Banking currently serve on the Board. Under the changes in the bill, two of the other four members would have to be “certified Pennsylvania evaluators” and two would have to be public members. In the case of an appointment of a professional member who is both a certified Pennsylvania evaluator and a state-certified real estate appraiser, the appointment would have to specify in which capacity the individual is being appointed. For the initial appointments, the Governor would have 90 days to nominate one certified Pennsylvania evaluator to serve a two-year term and another to serve a four-year term. For purposes of the act, a “certified Pennsylvania evaluator” would be defined as a person who holds a current valid certificate issued under the Assessors Certification Act, while a “professional member” would be defined as a certified Pennsylvania evaluator or a state-certified real estate appraiser. Passed: 49-0. Senate Bill 748 (Argall) would create the Public Safety Facilities Act to establish a clear process for consideration of proposed closures of state correctional institutions and state police stations. The law would establish a list of stakeholders who must be notified at least three months prior to an announcement of a closure.

Ward) would create the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact Act to authorize Pennsylvania’s participation in the compact. The purpose of the compact is to regulate the practice of telepsychology across state boundaries. Under the compact, licensed psychologists could apply for one or more certifications that permit the practice of telepsychology, or the temporary in-person, face-to-face practice of psychology.

The Secretary of the Commonwealth would be required to publish a notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin that includes the date on which the compact becomes effective. (The Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact Commission is responsible for the oversight of the compact. The commission consists of one voting representative appointed by each compact state who serves as that state’s commissioner.

    What's the Difference Between a Street and a Road? | Mental Floss 2/2/16, 4:54 PM What's the Difference Between a Street and a Road? Reader Brit asks: "Is there any rhyme or reason to calling a road an avenue, a boulevard, a street or a lane? Is it just at the discretion of whoever names the street?" Although both terms are often applied to the same thing, a road is different from a street, at least in theory. Looking at the definitions that folks like city planners use and the history of the usage of the words, the difference is a matter of place and purpose. Roads run between two distant points — two towns, for example. In each of those towns, you'll find streets: paved roads lined with houses and other buildings. It used to be the paving and the buildings that made a street a street, but today you'll find many paved roads that have buildings on them (I grew up on Wisteria Road). Modern sticklers for usage will tell you that what sets streets apart today is the street life that comes with them. On Main Street in a given town, you might find people walking their dogs, having lunch in a sidewalk cafe, waiting for a friend on the corner, or simply people watching. On the road connecting Town A to Town B, you're not likely to find any of this. The term street, then, should be specifically applied to urban roadways.
