New York City Gen Zers are moving to this Pennsylvania valley home to ‘Christmas City USA’

New York’s youngest movers have a surprising favorite escape, and it isn’t Jersey City, Philly or Austin. According to U-Haul’s latest migration report , the top destination for Gen Zers leaving the New York City area is Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley, the region that’s home to Allentown, Easton and Bethlehem, better known as “Christmas City USA.” What U-Haul found For its 2026 Midyear Migration Trends report, U-Haul analyzed one-way truck rentals from July 2025 through June 2026 and sorted them by generation, to see where people at different stages of life are actually moving. For New York City’s Gen Z renters, the top five net-gain destinations were: Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton (the Lehigh Valley) Harrisburg-Carlisle, Pennsylvania Toronto Houston Los Angeles The Lehigh Valley isn’t just a Gen Z thing, either. It also ranked No. 3 for the city’s Millennials . And the valley really is getting younger. Its population of 18- to 34-year-olds grew by nearly 9,000 between 2020 and 2024 , putting both Lehigh and Northampton counties in the top 10% of U.S. counties for young-adult growth, according to the Lehigh Valley Economic Development Corporation . “The growing and talented population, particularly that of young people, is the secret sauce,” LVEDC CEO Don

Phillipsburg Council Blocks $2,150 in Payments to Mayor, Local Cupcake Baker

Phillipsburg's Town Council voted against two routine-looking bills at its Oct. 27 meeting, withholding a combined $2,150 that included a $2,000 reimbursement for Mayor Randy Piazza Jr. and a $150 payment owed to a local cupcake baker who had already delivered the desserts. The move set off a pointed back-and-forth about conflicts of interest, paperwork and whether a small-business owner should be caught in the middle of town hall's internal disputes.

Unofficial returns showed Wrightson with about 51.4% of the vote the morning of Nov. 4, according to the Pennsylvania Department of State. He was up 50,072 votes to 47,283, with provisional ballots not yet counted. "I want to express my deepest gratitude to all the voters in Northeastern Pennsylvania for placing their trust in me. I don’t take that responsibility lightly," Wrightson said in an emailed statement.

Wrightson, who is from Archbald, Lackawanna County, was born in 1969 and raised in Jessup. His campaign website says that he grew up in a working-class family and became the first person in his family to earn a college degree.
