Where I'm at, in the Easton PA area or really, the whole Lehigh Valley area in PA, its a massive and I mean massive logistics, 3pl, warehousing and manufacturing hub. In terms of the NY CSA and its fringe proxies, it is a large logistics hub. And they continue to build warehouses all along the route 22 and I-78 corridor, all the way up to Bethel PA and Harrisburg. Word is, near Stroudsburg PA, big industrial park is in the works, we are talking several million square feet.
I suppose it somewhat makes the Lehigh Valley and its immediate fringes a "diverse" company town. Not one that is concentrated in any city but more the local region. Mix of a ton of blue collar and white collar jobs. Sort of similar to the Edison NJ area with a shit ton of warehousing and manufacturing.
Medical equipment, food, crayons, accessories for warehouses, MHE, and so on. Diverse portfolio of goods and services in this region.
Its a good thing for future growth and the region has grown. I believe its one of the fastest growing regions in PA, the Lehigh Valley. Third largest too, with Philly and Pittsburg being 1st and 2nd. Still... 3rd is okay.
Also... a ton of fellow NJ, CT, and NYC folks are moving to the region, modernizing it. A good thing. Things get real backwards minute you go West of Harrisburg and so... stick to Eastern PA for civilization and good local policies.
The dividing line between humans and the Hills Have Eyes folks is beyond that Western barrier...!
