The main building is located along Lower Saucon Road in a predominantly rural setting, and sits on approximately six acres of land that were subdivided from the former golf course property.

The remaining acreage was recently purchased by the township using open space preservation funds, and is slated to become a large passive recreation area.

The planning commission meeting will begin at 7 p.m. at Lower Saucon Town Hall, 3700 Old Philadelphia Pike, Bethlehem.
