Council approves lease of county-owned property to City of Easton for parking
Summary
Northampton County Council voted to lease county-owned real property to the City of Easton for use as parking. Council members described the lease as intergovernmental cooperation.
Northampton County Council approved a lease of county-owned real property to the City of Easton for parking use.
Council discussion on the lease was brief. A council member framed the arrangement as intergovernmental cooperation “for the benefit of its residents,” and the measure passed on a voice vote recorded as in the meeting record.
Why this matters: intergovernmental leases can enable municipal access to county-owned land for public uses such as parking and can be an administrative tool to support downtown access and municipal operations.
The ordinance was introduced on Aug. 21, 2025, and the council completed its second public hearing and vote at the Sept. 8 meeting.
