From Mike Stein:

I do not have (and do not want) a Facebook account, so I have asked my wife to post this on my behalf:

The Paradise Township Supervisors Meeting on Monday evening drew attention from the community amid growing concerns surrounding the development of the Pocono Region. Neighboring municipalities have already welcomed plans for warehouses, cell phone towers, large hotels and luxury apartment complexes, and a flurry of investment properties and short term rentals.

The Pocono Township Police would like to announce that Bike4Chai, a cycling event, will be coming through Pocono Township today. The route will be Route 314 to Summit Road, Summit Road to Back Moutain Road, Back Mountain Road to Sullivan Trail
