At the December 17, 2024, East Stroudsburg Borough Council meeting, residents expressed outrage over a proposed 29% property tax increase. The meeting highlighted a striking financial disparity: non-taxable properties, including hospitals, East Stroudsburg University (ESU), and public schools, account for an estimated $3-$4 billion in property value, while taxable properties total only $400 million.
Zoning enforcement is an essential part of maintaining order and safety in our communities, but in Monroe County, there has been growing concern about the use of third-party contractors to handle these responsibilities. While municipalities are tasked with enforcing local zoning laws, some have opted to outsource the role of zoning enforcement officer to private companies. This decision has raised questions about the transparency, consistency, and fairness of zoning enforcement practices.
Glen Park in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, lies right on the border with New Jersey and has some great elevation change for the area. The local mountain bike scene has grown exponentially in the past seven years, and the Glen Park trail system has borne the fruits of this growth. Volunteers take great care of the trails, bringing more and more mountain bikers to the area.
