Lehighton has renewed its yearly contribution for its Main Street manager.

On a unanimous measure, borough council on Monday renewed the $10,000 contribution for Main Street manager Bambi Elsasser’s salary.

In November 2021, the Carbon Chamber & Economic Development Corp. announced that the Lehighton Downtown Initiative and the Lehighton Main Street Steering Committee had come together to form the Lehighton Downtown Partnership and operate under the umbrella of the CCEDC.

Elsasser, who began her position on Sept. 13, 2021, serves as the staff person responsible for coordinating all program activities and volunteers, and to create activities in the borough that assist with the revitalization and economic development of the downtown.
