Bethlehem for Unique Neighborhoods

Our Mission

The City of Bethlehem has a healthy and diverse mix of neighborhood types across the city, offering varying densities, housing types and price ranges to a widespread population. Each neighborhood is unique, possessing characteristics that work together to support one another and the city as a whole.

Bethlehem for Unique Neighborhoods, Inc. recognizes the value and importance of these distinct neighborhoods. As such, we have formed to oppose City Administration and City Council updating the Zoning Ordinance to densify our established neighborhoods. Changing the Zoning Ordinance would result in a multitude of unintended consequences and negative impacts to our city.

We initially and specially oppose the high-density and mixed-use development concept proposed by the First Presbyterian Church of Bethlehem. This project would gravely impact surrounding residential neighborhoods and, if approved, would set a precedent for future densification projects that would seriously harm the very fabric of our Christmas City.
