Envision Lehigh Valley will host a one-of-a-kind virtual public meeting 8 to 9 p.m. May 13 to garner feedback from residents of the Lehigh Valley about what they want to see in the Lehigh Valley in the next five, 10 or 20 years. The unique virtual meeting will allow anyone to jump into the broadcast through a specific link and chat live with a panel of city planners from Easton, Bethlehem and Allentown as well as a regional planner from the Lehigh Valley Planning Commission. Viewers can tweet, write Facebook comments, email or join a live chat to share their thoughts on topics from economic development to housing, and also ask questions of the panelists.
The town hall will run for approximately one hour and will be entirely free.
The virtual meeting link to the Envision Lehigh Valley, hosted on a free uStream channel, will be shared on Envision Lehigh Valley's Facebook page and Twitter feed, or through this URL: http://www.ustream. tv/channel/envision-the-lehigh-valley posted on the website www.envisionlehighvalley.com. Questions and comments can be shared ahead of time by sending an e-mail to Renew Lehigh Valley, who will be coordinating the virtual meeting. Emails to smartgrowth@renewlv.org with "Virtual Meeting" in the subject line will be gathered beforehand and integrated into the meeting in May.
