The Building Process

Lehigh Valley Industrial Park, Inc. has been creating quality business environments since 1959

Protective Covenants were established to create standards for construction and design that are applied uniformly throughout the LVIP park system.

LVIP VII at the Bethlehem Commerce Center is located in the City of Bethlehem, Northampton County. Phase One of the park’s development is zoned for heavy industrial use and for industrial redevelopment, which permits a wider range of end uses and an opportunity for a diverse mix of employment. Specific information on building application fees and the planning and building process is available from the City of Bethlehem by clicking here. (Michelle to add text on Association Bylaws.)

Environmental Integrity

The LVIP VII industrial redevelopment plan won the support of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, the City of Bethlehem, Northampton County, the U.S. Economic Development Administration and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, all of which have contributed financial and technical resources to the project.

In January 2005, Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell presented a $15-million check to LVIP for further environmental and infrastructure improvements through the Commonwealth’s Business in Our Sites program to help brownfield properties become productive. LVIP VII is also the pioneer project for the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection’s Brownfield Action Team that expedites the assessment, planning and permitting process for land recycling. In April 2006, LVIP received a 2005 Governor’s Award for Environmental Excellence for its successful remediation that is creating new businesses on formerly brownfield land. (Add logo for Gov Award)
