Good morning, Allentown.

ET&T co-president Fusun Bubernack said the family-run firm moved from using phones to managed IT — now it uses AI, cybersecurity and new tech to serve customers.

East Penn Manufacturing is launching its exclusive Armor Alloy Technology today at the 7x24 International Exchange Conference in San Antonio — showcasing a new battery solution for datacenter backup power — to meet rising demands for reliable energy in data centers.

The technology combines a pure lead grid with engineered alloys — designed to boost durability and efficiency — and is crafted to support Hyperscale applications.

Muhlenberg College School of Graduate Studies has launched a new online MBA program that offers live weekly classes and small cohorts for personalized attention — applications are open now and the first cohort will start in fall.

The Nazareth Area School District plans a new $77 million elementary school on a 43-acre site in Lower Nazareth Township—where zoning issues persist and a gas pipeline runs 420 feet from the proposed building.

CHA Consulting said the pipeline meets safety guidelines and offered temporary solutions while the district seeks a rezoning proposal.

Two organizations in the Lehigh Valley will receive 2026 LeadingAge PA Awards grants to support workforce development in aging services.

Fellowship Community in Lehigh County and Waverly Heights in Montgomery County will use the funds for paid internships and an Administrator-in-Training program over the next two years.

On Monday, two new fire trucks were introduced in a traditional ceremony where elementary students helped push them into place at the East Side Fire Station and Fearless Fire Company — a nod to a custom that began when engines were horse drawn.

The Allentown Fire Department said the new engines, replacing equipment that is more than 16 years old, will soon help respond to about 15,000 calls a year.

PennDOT will restrict lanes and flag from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on 15 projects in Northampton County, which may cause delays for motorists.

Work begins Monday on roads such as Easton Avenue in Bethlehem Township and continues on routes including 248, 946, and 512—rain could extend the delays.
