Where are they going to play football?
stretching across more than 100 football fields.
= = =
Actual, existing football fields? No. They mean area.
I guess no one can comprehend an acre, or square miles.
I calculate the area of 100 football fields as less than 1/2 mile by 1/2 mile.
Now if they mean football stadiums, the area is larger, but less well defined.
If the area stretched far enough to cover 100 scattered, existing football fields, then that WOULD be something.
Seems like it was overkill for a little bitty township to have 100 football fields, anyway. (/s)
I’m just glad they didn’t say soccer fields.
If you live in the area and have an adult child living in your basement; opportunity is knocking.
Get your kid certified to drive a fork lift tomorrow (figuratively speaking. Monday since tomorrow is Sunday).
Yeah, we had some football fields that were basically pastures in Louisiana.
Scranton is also developing huge distribution centers (ware housing).... although, I wouldn’t say unexpected,since the planned expansion of Port Newark...
It makes me ill to read that. It has become the only reason people look at businesses anymore. It's as though the only reason people and businesses exist to pay taxes.
Ohhhh.... that evil capitalism, what shall we do?
6.5 million square feet of distribution center warehouses?
Covering 100 football fields?
IMO, it’s not that much.
With an acre being 43,560 sq ft, that 6,500,000 sq ft of warehousing is only 149 acres, which is less than a quarter, and a quarter to a farmer is a nothingburger. My neighbor owns 10 quarters. Very successful farmers own several sections. (section = sq mi, quarter = 1/4 section)
The amount of income to be derived from that 149 acres will surpass the agricultural income multitudes of times over.
All those football players that need 100 foot ball fields can just go someplace else.
Yeah. Right.
“...But change was coming as people moved west from crowded New York and New Jersey,”
This is the stinker. The last thing we need in the Lehigh Valley is more liberal welfare parasites from New York and New Jersey. Keep them out!
Available land just a few miles north of Interstate 78, and just a few miles east of Interstate 476.
Buried way at bottom: 2300 jobs
The Urban writer should focus on the lack of green in the concrete jungles and fight each building permit where he lives.
Just continuing the trend to cover the country’s most valuable resource with concrete and buildings. At the same time the urban blight decries the travesty of modern agriculture and all the food it produces.
Great! More trucks on 78.
Think of all the head injuries they are preventing.
