Easton Mayor Sal Panto
Easton, PA — About 50 members and guests of CREW Lehigh Valley gathered in the auditorium of the Sigal Museum for a fascinating pre- sentation by EastonMayor Sal Panto on March 29. The mayor credited Easton’s resurgence of development on the city’s focus on promoting the arts, tourism, and special events. He said the genesis of activity can be traced to the renovation and revital- ization of the State Theater, which offers a year-round schedule of live stage perfor- mances ranging from Broad- way productions to top musical performers. “When there’s a performance at the State, res- taurants in a five-mile radius are booked,” he noted. The city’s trendy restau- rants and festivals, including Bacon Fest and the Riverside Festival of the Arts, attract visitors who often the decide to become residents, spurring the renovation of former office and commercial buildings into apartments attractive to both millennials and boomers.
The success of the Crayola Experience inspired the city’s exploration of a new family- friendly venue, a re-imagined Da Vinci Science Center, ex- pected to relocate from Al- lentown. The new facility is proposed to expand to 170,000 square feet and include every- thing from a 3-Dmovie theater to an aquarium with sharks. To facilitate the project, the city bought for six-million- dollars a three-acre site that currently contains a hotel, Panto said. The program concluded with a tour of the nearby Easton Public Market, an initiative of the Greater Easton Develop- ment Partnership. The market features a winery, artisinal food vendors, a farmstand, demonstration kitchen, and community room, attracting diners and shoppers Wednes- days through Sundays. n The event began at the Sigal Museum
Easton Public Market features 14 vendors
