Allentown City Council, Planning Commission, and Zoning Hearing Board process rezonings, special exceptions, variances, and subdivision/land development approvals under the PA Municipalities Planning Code (MPC). The Neighborhood Improvement Zone (NIZ) in downtown Allentown is the primary economic development tool, providing state tax incentives that have driven over $1 billion in office, arena, and mixed-use construction since 2014. Hamilton Street and the PPL Center arena district anchor the NIZ, while the 7th Street corridor and former Mack Trucks industrial sites see adaptive reuse and infill rezoning filings. The Lehigh Valley's logistics boom along I-78 pushes warehouse and distribution rezoning requests into the city's industrial fringe areas.
