The AEAC reviews issues related to natural resource protection, land use, sustainability, and environmental quality, providing recommendations to City officials to support long-term environmental stewardship.
We also work closely with the community to promote a healthier, greener Allentown. Explore our programs, events, and ways to get involved. Together, we can make a positive impact on our environment and our city.
