Easton Council invokes eminent domain to acquire property for new parking facility
“With renovations being made to expand the Crayola Experience downtown, Easton city officials realize parking will be soon be at an even greater premium.
As a result, the mayor and City Council are eying the construction of a 275-to-325 space public parking facility on North Fourth Street by the Express-Times building.
City Administrator Glenn Steckman said the need for an additional parking facility was identified as a priority in a study completed last year.
The proposed parking facility, in addition to serving the renovated Crayola Experience, would also provide needed parking for the State Theatre, Steckman noted.”
