ALLENTOWN NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT ZONE DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY, PETITIONER vs. CITY OF ALLENTOWN, ALLENTOWN SCHOOL DISTRICT, LEHIGH COUNTY AND LEHIGH COUNTY BOARD OF ASSESSMENT APPEALS, RESPONDENTS Board of Assessment—Economic Development Financing Law—Neighborhood Improvement Zone—Tax Immunity. The Lehigh County Board of Assessment (the “Board”) determined four properties located within Allentown’s Neighborhood Improvement Zone (“NIZ”)—an arena, a retail unit condominium, and two parking decks—were subject to the imposition of real estate property taxes by the Allentown School District, the City of Allentown, and the County of Lehigh. The Allentown Neighborhood Improvement Zone Development Authority (“ANIZDA”) appealed the Board’s determination that the property was taxable and re- quested that it be deemed immune from taxation. The Board denied ANIZDA’s request for tax immunity, and an appeal to the Court of Common Pleas followed. The Court ulti- mately held that all four properties were immune from taxation because the properties fall within the geographic confines of the NIZ, and each of the properties is owned and leased by ANIZDA to promote and enhance economic development.

MEMORANDUM OPINION REICHLEY, J., May 20, 2016. This matter comes before the Court as an appeal by the Allentown Neighborhood Improvement Zone Development Authority from a determination by the Lehigh County Board of Assessment Appeals on May 1, 2015 that four 8 Lehigh 7-17 op ANIZDA vs. City of Allentown et al. 411 properties are subject to the imposition of property taxes imposed by the Allentown School District, the City of Allentown, and Lehigh County. The properties are located at 701, 701-4, 701-5, and 701- 7 West Hamilton Street, Allentown, Pennsylvania. Respectively, these properties constitute an arena, two separate parcels that constitute two parking decks, and a separate condominium parcel that is leased to two privately operated restaurants adjacent to the arena property. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY These four properties are located within the geographical contours of what is designated as the Allentown Neighborhood Improvement Zone by legislation enacted in 2011. The arena constitutes the centerpiece of an urban redevelopment initiative in Allentown, and has been promoted as a catalyst for other eco- nomic redevelopment in the downtown Allentown area. The park- ing decks are adjacent to and contiguous with the arena and the restaurant parcels. The parking decks are open to not only patrons of the arena and the restaurants, but for the convenience of anyone patronizing the downtown Allentown area. The Allentown Neighborhood Improvement Zone Authority (ANIZDA) oversees the Neighborhood Improvement Zone (NIZ). This body was created under the language of the Economic De- velopment Financing Law, 73 P.S. §371 et seq., otherwise referred to as the Financing Law. The ANIZDA was crafted as the succes- sor to the Allentown Commercial and Industrial Development Authority (ACIDA). The ANIZDA was authorized by statute to finance and monitor economic development within a district of 128 non-contiguous acres located in the downtown area and along the riverfront in Allentown. See 72 P.S. §1901-B et seq. (NIZ law). Under the Financing Law, the ANIZDA was created for the purpose of “acquiring, holding, constructing, improving, maintain- ing, owning, financing, and leasing, either in the capacity of lessor or lessee, [development] projects.” 73 P.S. §376(a). The Financing Law further directs the ANIZDA shall “promote the use of urban and commercial centers by, among other things, providing parking, convention, tourism, recreational and sports facilities.” 73 P.S. §372.1(10). 9 Lehigh 7-17 op 412 ANIZDA vs. City of Allentown et al. On February 8, 2012 Mayor Edwin Pawlowski endorsed the Articles of Incorporation establishing ANIZDA. These Articles of Incorporation were filed with the Pennsylvania Department of State on March 23, 2012, and the Certificate of Incorporation was granted on the same date. Within the Articles of Incorporation (attached as Exhibit 1 to the Stipulated Facts filed by the parties on March 4, 2016), it states under paragraph (c): The Authority shall have all the powers and authority granted to an industrial and commercial development author- ity pursuant to the Financing Law, which shall include but shall not be limited to acquiring, holding, constructing, im- proving, maintaining, owning, financing, and leasing, either in the capacity of lessor or lessee, industrial, specialized or commercial development projects and serving as successor to the Allentown Commercial and Industrial Development Authority (ACIDA) for purposed [sic] of administering, pro- viding financing for and undertaking all other activities re- lated to the Allentown Neighborhood Improvement Zone (NIZ) established pursuant to the law governing Neighbor- hood Improvement Zones ...

  • Little Lehigh Creek Visual Assessment WHITEHALL TOWNSHIP ALLENTOWN CITY
    Coldwater Heritage Partnership LITTLE LEHIGH CREEK COLDWATER CONSERVATION PLAN October 2007 Acknowledgements This project was not possible without the support of the partners listed below. The Lehigh County Conservation District (LCCD) was critical in the development of the Con- servation Plan. The Watershed Specialist Rebecca Kennedy and Conservation Program Spe- cialist Erin Frederick took on significant roles beyond expectations to ensure success. They were involved in all aspects including developing the protocol for the visual stream assess- ment, surveying dozens of reaches, and designing a GIS format to better interpret the data col- lected. LCCD invested enormous amounts of resources and GIS expertise that allowed the partners to develop a Conservation Plan more comprehensive than thought possible. In addition, dedicated members of the Little Lehigh Trout Unlimited and Saucon Creek Water- shed Association volunteered numerous hours walking the main stem of the Little Lehigh Creek to assess the state of the waterway. Two members of the Saucon Creek Watershed Association deserve special recognition. These volunteers surveyed the greatest number of reaches and their dedication was greatly appreci- ated. Terry Boos Ray Follador We would like to also thank the hard work of the following volunteers that spent time assessing the creek. Bob Ditmars Greg Gliwa Allan Johnson Stacy Reed Jeff Sabo Burt Schaffer Mario Spagnoletti Powen Wang This plan was made possible through a grant from the Coldwater Heritage Partnership. The Partnership is a collabo- rative effort between the PA Fish & Boat Commission, PA De- partment of Conservation and Natural Resources, Western Penn- sylvania Watershed Protection Program and Pennsylvania Trout.

  • Annual Report July 1, 2016 – June 30, 2017 More Educational Opportunities for Student Success
    Annual Report July 1, 2016 – June 30, 2017 More Educational Opportunities for Student Success Leadership Message Richard L. Button President 2016 – 2017 Dear Friends, The Allentown School District Foundation’s Board of Directors and the three part-time folks who work for the foundation continued to focus our efforts on quality and quantity. There has been positive movement on all fronts, improving our program delivery and increasing the number of active participants in all our efforts. Our purpose remains vital, and that is to drive more dollars into classrooms for greater impact. We have raised almost $2.1 million since 2009 to fund our programs. Here are some the highlights: . We are proud partners with the Allentown School District (ASD), as we identify programs and opportunities that will result in real progress for our students and for our schools. Executive Director, Susan L. Williams, who joined us in November 2015, produced and distributed an online survey that is the basis of the foundation’s new strategic plan. Sent to approximately 300 community leaders and ASD educators, the survey’s responses provided much needed consensus and direction for our future priorities. Our Board of Directors remains the backbone of this non-profit effort. We are continuing to recruit new directors from Allentown’s growing professional and business community that believe in our mission. We hold ourselves accountable to our donors and supporters. ASDF Administrator Vicki Newhard now tracks student participation in our programs, with real-time data. Called the “ASDF Impact Report,” it identified 5,332 students who participated in ASDF programs in 2016-2017, double the number in the previous year (see page 3).

  • City with Limits: an Untold History of Residential Segregation and Education Inequality in Allentown, PA
    City with Limits: An Untold History of Residential Segregation and Education Inequality in Allentown, PA By: Wilberto Sicard Outline ● Part 1: Introduction ● Part 2: One City, Two Neighborhoods ● Part 3: A Tale of Two Schools ● Part 4: Conclusion Introduction ● In January 2010, Allentown adopted a new slogan titled, “City without limits” to underscore the city’s rebounding economy and future prosperity amid the downfall of the Great Recession ● However, Allentonians of color could not embrace this slogan because their history in Allentown was defined by oppressive limits ● This project works to highlight these limits placed on Allentown’s African American and Latinx communities ● The thesis accomplishes this by utilizing Richard Rothstein’s theory in The Color of Law and showing that Allentown’s 1960s urban renewal projects were a form of de jure, or by the law, segregation. ● The thesis then extends this theory to show the long-term impact of segregation on the city’s public school system ● This project ends by offering policy proposals that would lead to a true “City without limits.” One City, Two Neighborhoods ● By 1960, 745 African American people lived in Allentown ● Of these 745, 528 lived in the downtown area ● These people of color were restricted to this area as a result of redlining ● Private landlords and home sellers would not rent/sell homes outside of inner-city area to Allentonians of color ● Banks would not give mortgages to people of color either ● These policies make up the de facto, or practices that existed in reality,
