  • The Pocono Resort Economy: Economic Growth and Social Conservatism, 1865-1940
    The Pocono Resort Economy: Economic Growth and Social Conservatism, 1865-1940 N THE LATE NINETEENTH CENTURY, Pennsylvania was known for its coal mines, steel mills, and machine shops. But in a scenic I corner of northeastern Pennsylvania, the Pocono mountain region, something new emerged. A service economy of hotels and boarding- houses began catering to the vacation needs of New York and Philadel- phia. The Poconos achieved economic growth without the strife of industrialism. The resort economy did not require huge, distant corpo- rations, nor massive infusions of capital and labor. No bitter strikes erupted, and no strange languages were heard. The Poconos retained a rural, nativist character that has persisted almost until the present day. The making of a resort economy within the framework of a small-town culture is the theme of this essay. The Pocono Mountains and their foothills include Monroe and Pike Counties and parts of Wayne and Carbon Counties. The region is well-positioned for tourism, about ninety miles west of New York City, across the Delaware River from New Jersey, and another ninety miles north of Philadelphia. Yet a resort economy came late—after the Civil War. The reasons are varied. To begin, the Poconos lacked mineral springs, the chief asset of inland resorts before the Civil War. Rich Americans who sought health and fun traveled to spas such as Saratoga and Silver Springs. Other Americans went to the shore. Long Branch and Cape May in New Jersey as well as Bar Harbor, Nahant, and Newport (a vibrant commercial port during the colonial era) in New England were all born as resorts in this early period.

  • May 20, 1999 Mr. Michael Beckenbach Chairman
    City Center Building 1401 H Street, NW Washington, DC 20530 May 20, 1999 Mr. Michael Beckenbach Chairman, Environmental Committee Pocono Mountains Chamber of Commerce c/o Gallagher & Gallagher Stroudsburg Division 701 Main Street Stroudsburg, PA 18360 Re: Comment on Proposed Final Judgment in United States, State of New York, et al. v. Waste Management, Inc., Eastern Environmental Services, Inc., No. 98 CV 7168 (JB) (E.D.N.Y., December 31, 1998) Dear Mr. Beckenbach: This letter responds to your letter of April 10, 1999 commenting on the Final Judgment in the above case. The Amended Complaint in the case charged, among other things, that Waste Management’s acquisition of Eastern Environmental would substantially lessen competition in collection or disposal of waste in a number of markets throughout the Northeast and in Florida. In northeastern Pennsylvania, the Amended Complaint alleged, the merger would substantially reduce competition in the collection of commercial waste in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre market. The proposed Final Judgment now pending in federal district court in Brooklyn, New York would settle the case with respect to the Scranton market by, inter alia, requiring Waste Management to divest its front-end loader commercial waste collection routes that service Luzerne and Lackawanna counties, which comprise much of the greater metropolitan Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, PA area. This divestiture, if approved by the Court, would establish an independent competitor in the market for which relief was sought, and replace the competitive rivalry lost when Waste Management acquired Eastern Environmental. In your letter, you express concern that neither the complaint in this case nor the proposed consent decree address the competitive effects of the merger in Monroe County, PA, in which a combination of Waste Management and Eastern would dominate municipal and commercial waste collection services, controlling over eighty percent of all waste collected.
