Allentown, PA EAC was established Summer 2008.

From the PA EAC Network Handbook:
What is an EAC? An Environmental Advisory Council is a group of 3-7 community residents, appointed by local elected officials, that advises the local planning commission, park and recreation board and elected officials on the protection, conservation, management, promotion and use of natural resources within its territorial limits. Municipalities are authorized to establish EACs through Act 177 of 1996, originally Act 148 of 1973.

EAC members devote time and energy to assist elected and appointed officials in protecting the environment. They can act on a municipal or multi-municipal level.

The Allentown EAC meets the second Monday of the month from 5:15 to 7:00 pm at Allentown City Hall, 3rd floor. The public is welcome.

The Allentown EAC Yahoo group will be a repository for group messages, meeting minutes, official and other documents of interest, and a calendar.
