Palmerton
Palmerton is a borough in Carbon County founded in 1898 as a New Jersey Zinc Company town — the zinc smelter on Blue Mountain dominated the local economy and skyline for most of the twentieth century, leaving behind a Superfund cleanup and a distinct industrial-village layout. Today the business mix is rebuilt: trades and small contractors, retail along Delaware Avenue, restaurants, professional services (accounting, law, healthcare practices), and a growing outdoor-recreation economy tied to the Blue Mountain ridge and Lehigh Gap trails. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms for Carbon County operators at this scale — purpose-built operating systems with intelligent automation baked in. The questions below come up most often during first calls.
