Governor Edward G. Rendell said Lehigh Valley residents will have greater access to world-class health care and entertainment with two new, major economic development projects that will create approximately 1,700 new jobs and enhance the area's continuing revitalization (see also Pennsylvania Office of the Governor).
During the first of his two stops in Bethlehem, the Governor announced that St. Luke's Hospital & Health Network will build a heath center and inpatient hospital that will be named St. Luke's Riverside. Within four years, St. Luke's will create 1,385 jobs without impacting the 5,893 existing positions and invest $212 million into the project.
