— Jeff Ward, Lehigh Valley News Briefs
Jefferson Health is seeking zoning relief to put up 14 signs at the intersection of Bath Pike (Route 512) and Highland Avenue.
The Hanover Township Zoning Hearing Board is due to hear the hospital chain’s request for signs at 90 Highland Ave. on Aug. 27.
Philadelphia-based Jefferson operates locally under the Lehigh Valley Health Network brand. LVHN has facilities on Highland Avenue to the east of the site of the proposed signs.
Jefferson wants to put up nine wall signs and five freestanding signs for a total of 781 square feet. That results in an average sign size of about 55 square feet.
The property overlooking Route 512 is owned by Jaindl Land Co.
Here is a link to the meeting agenda and below is the Jefferson request from the Hanover Township (Northampton County) website:
The petition of Jefferson Health Corporation concerning the property at 90 Highland Avenue, Bethlehem, PA 18017, consisting of two abutting parcels in the PIBD district: PIN M6 15 10X 0214 and PIN M6 15 10X-2 0214.

total of nine (9) wall signs and five (5) freestanding signs on and about the property totaling approximately 781.32 square feet.
