Flagpoles in Allentown

The third-largest city in the state, with a rebuilt downtown core and a warehouse and distribution belt wrapped around it. We cover Allentown and the Lehigh County area, including the Hamilton Street core and the Neighborhood Improvement Zone, the Old Allentown, Old Fairgrounds and West Park historic districts, Cedar Beach and the Lehigh Parkway, the Lehigh Valley Industrial Park corridors and the Route 22 and I-78 interchange.

Wind here. Allentown sits in an inland, Lehigh Valley area, which works out to roughly 115 mph under the code your town uses. That figure decides how wide and how thick the pole has to be, so we check it against your address before we quote. There are two Allentowns and they want different poles. Downtown inside the Neighborhood Improvement Zone is sheltered by its own buildings and usually tight for access, and if the property sits in Old Allentown, the Old Fairgrounds or West Park, the Historical Architectural Review Board looks at anything visible from the street and City Council issues the certificate. The warehouse belt out toward Route 22 and I-78 is the opposite condition: flat open ground with nothing upwind, so those are sized for open exposure rather than the sheltered case. The Lehigh Valley is limestone country as well, and a soft auger hole out there is a reason to stop and look rather than pour.

Most of the people who call us from Allentown are warehouse and distribution operators, downtown offices and hotels, hospitals and medical offices, schools and churches, municipal buildings and community associations.
