To beautify downtown Palmerton, St. Luke’s University Health Network plans to develop public green space at the site of the former Palmerton Hospital following its demolition this fall. 

Demolition work is beginning at the former Allentown State Hospital on Hanover Avenue in East Allentown.

The buildings and structures that comprise the long dormant Allentown State Hospital will start coming down this summer. Demolition contractor Neuber Demolition & Environmental Services of Gilbertsville, Montgomery County, will start July 10 and finish in February 2021, with a completion of its contract work in May 2021.

The Pennsylvania Department of General Services has posted a request for proposals for the demolition of the structures on the 100-year-old, nearly 200-acre property.

The Pennsylvania House of Representatives has voted 200-1 to move forward with the demolition of the Allentown State Hospital on Hanover Avenue in Allentown and hold a competitive-bid sale of the property after the work is complete.

The owner of the Reading Fairgrounds Square Mall in Muhlenberg Township has announced redevelopment plans for the property that will include demolishing about 80 percent of the existing mall.

The iconic corporate office skyscraper is no more for Bethlehem.
