Overview: During a recent Bethlehem Town Council meeting, serious allegations surfaced regarding the city administration’s conduct in real estate transactions. Local realtor and business owner Lucy Glennon accused the city of interfering with property sales involving three financially struggling churches. Glennon, a vocal city supporter, claimed the administration directed her to inform potential buyers that the city was interested in acquiring these properties. According to Glennon, the city allegedly suggested it might use eminent domain as leverage, leading to developers withdrawing their offers. These accusations have sparked debate among council members, raising concerns about the integrity of the city’s real estate dealings and the possible misuse of eminent domain.

Overview: The recent Bethlehem Town Council meeting delved into a proposed zoning map amendment, homelessness issues, and public safety, with a focus on rezoning a property at 8th Avenue and Martin Court. The zoning change request, submitted by Attorney Dennis Benner, aims to reclassify two parcels from a Mixed-Use Commercial District (CMU) to a Shopping Center District (CS). This change would facilitate the development of either an upscale car wash or a restaurant, potentially including a drive-thru, which is currently not allowed under the existing zoning.
