DLP/Penn State ground-floor business training use
Allentown
Description
Variance to put Penn State's business-training space (LaunchBox, AI lab, veterans outreach) at the street-facing front of the ground floor rather than 20 feet back — granted because the building sits 80 feet off the sidewalk.
Impact summary
Brings an active university community anchor to the street level of a vacant downtown building, boosting foot traffic for neighboring businesses.
