222 Latino Corridor: Corazón de la Comunidad
The 222 Corridor gets its name from route 222. For the Latino community, it is more than that. The regions of Easton, Bethlehem, Allentown, Lancaster, Lebanon, York, Harrisburg and Gettysburg and its surroundings are home to more than fifty-percent of the state’s total Latino population. Confidently we can say, as of today, that the 222 Corridor is the heart of the Latino community – el corazón de la comunidad.
6 out of the top 8 cities in Pennsylvania with largest Latino population are located in the 222 Latino Corridor. The school districts of Reading, Allentown, Lancaster, Lebanon have majority Latino student population – Reading surpassing 80%, Allentown and Lancaster more than 60%.
Hosting the annual Pennsylvania Latino Convention in the 222 Latino Corridor is a reaffirmation of this unprecedented growth and the opportunities to cementing a statewide Latino agenda impacting Latinos in all of Pennsylvania’s 67 counties. The corazón Latino is pounding hard in our commonwealth.
