BIP of Palmer

BIP of Palmer BIP of Palmer focuses on our local community, working to build a stronger tomorrow for Palmer Township as well as it’s surrounding areas.

The Palmer Business, Industrial and Professional Association is here to help promote the climate of commerce in Palmer Township and serve the welfare of the community as a whole. We do so by increasing the role of township officials and staff within the organization, initiating bimonthly, locally focused membership programs, increasing the use of electronic communications to promote and market mem

bers' companies and the township, and increasing the association's involvement in key community activities. The BIP is unique as a local business organization because it allows its members to become better acquainted and have direct communication with elected and/or appointed officials. This occurs at bimonthly meetings at local restaurants and at Association sponsored mixers held at our members' facilities. The meetings facilitate a better understanding of business, government and community issues in Palmer Township.

Palmer Township is beginning a critical drainage and flood mitigation project in the Seip Avenue and Old Nazareth Road area. This work will upgrade undersized pipes, improve stormwater flow, and reduce the risk of localized flooding during heavy rain—helping protect nearby homes, roadways, and businesses.

Utility relocations (water, gas, and electric) are currently underway in select areas. Heavier construction, including culvert installation, will require 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐝𝐞𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐯𝐢𝐚 𝐑𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝟐𝟒𝟖 (𝐍𝐚𝐳𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐡 𝐑𝐨𝐚𝐝).

• Detours expected to begin: Tuesday, May 26th, 2026
• Estimated completion: Spring 2027

Traveling South on Rt. 248 – Old Nazareth Rd is closed at Swanson St. South bound traffic should utilize/remain on Southbound Rt 248 to Carolyn St. jug handle to Greenwood Ave.

Traveling East on Swanson St. – Old Nazareth Rd is closed at Swanson. Traffic is detoured North onto Old Nazareth Rd. towards Rt. 248 South

Traveling East on Eldridge Ave., Hermitage Ave., and Seip Ave. - Traffic is detoured South onto Greenwood Ave., then East onto Carolyn St., then North onto Old Nazareth Rd. (jug handle portion) to the traffic light at Rt. 248

The typical “short-cut” of utilizing Old Nazareth Rd to travel South/North will not be possible. Northbound travelers should make a right turn on Carolyn St and a left turn down the “jug handle” to get to the light at Old Nazareth Rd and Rt 248. Turn left on Rt. 248 to continue North. Southbound travel of the short cut should also not be utilized. Remain on Rt. 248 southbound to bypass the work area.

Questions regarding the planned work, traffic detours, safety concerns, or other stormwater related inquires should be directed to [email protected]

💚Supporting Cleaner, Safer Trails: New Dog Waste Station at Schoeneck Creek

The BIP of Palmer has installed another dog waste station at the trailhead of the Schoeneck Creek bike path off Corriere Road. This is the 11th dog waste station installed by the BIP along the multiuse paths at the Lehigh River, Schoeneck and Bushkill Creeks.

The BIP also contributes 50% of the cost of yearly maintenance and replenishment of waste bags.
Dog waste stations along Palmer Township bike paths are essential for public health, environmental protection, and community enjoyment providing convenient disposal options, reducing the spread of harmful bacteria and parasites, prevents nutrient-rich pet waste from contaminating stormwater and local waterways, while keeping paths clean and safe for cyclists, pedestrians, and children.
The visible, well-maintained stations also encourage responsible pet ownership and demonstrate municipal commitment to shared public spaces, which can improve user experience, and foster neighborhood pride in a cleaner, more welcoming trail network.

Happy Trails, Happy Tails! 🐕
