Northface dumping

Mr. Petrole of Northface Development brings many heavy trucks in to Palmerton in a week from out of state. They are hauling product from those states that would be too costly to dispose of in those locations. Imagine the cost to truck it here to Palmerton. So I am sure it is cheaper to dump it here than from where it came from, and this sends up a red flag. The trucks enter the town from numerous directions and utilize our main street to get to the plant. Is this what the Jim Thorpe area needs or wants?

If no development of any kind ever takes place, what will the land be worth in the end? Getting $300,000 for the land now may come back to haunt us in the future.Ken KasickPalmerton
