From introduction: "From being a key destination in the coal and iron works region of the 20th century, Easton has taken concrete steps toward redefining its place in the Lehigh Valley (LV) Region. Over the last couple of decades, attractions such as the Crayola Experience, Sigal Museum, The State Theatre, Farmers’ Market, the many festivals at Centre Square, and close collaborations between the City and Lafayette College have attracted people from the immediate region and beyond. This new influx of energy and investments predicts a revived urban focus that will help to bring the City’s population back to its peak of 35,000 people by the year 2040. These statistics and planning efforts represent a key juncture in Easton’s history. Looking forward 20 years and beyond, this comprehensive plan provides the opportunity to define Easton’s identity and its path toward a sustainable and prosperous future. With this overarching goal in mind, the plan making process and the plan itself serve a number of purposes for Easton’s residents." Funding was provided in part by a 2013 Historic Preservation Fund grant to the City of Easton (project number PA-13-011) administered by the Pennsylvania State Historic Preservation Office (grant number P13AF00191) and the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
