Integrating Latinos into the community is an uphill, but achievable goal. Pennsylvania

“The fastest-growing population group in the Lehigh Valley isn’t well-served nor is it well-represented in positions of influence. Those are the conclusions of a 130-page study of Latinos in the Valley commissioned by the Lehigh Valley Economic Development Corp.

With a $75,000 state grant, the study was conducted during the past year by Alegre Research and Demographics in Lancaster. But now the truly hard part. A task force headed by Teresa Donate, a professor at Northampton Community College, and Eduardo Eichenwald, executive director of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of the Lehigh Valley, will assess the findings, prioritize initiatives and oversee implementation.”
