Puerto Rican Sister City Search

The City of Bethlehem is engaging its community members on creating a sister city relationship in Puerto Rico to acknowledge our historical ties, our current opportunities, and to look at the ways we can mutually benefit in a formalized, governmental connection with each other. We want to hear from you on what are the biggest priorities in choosing and being in relationship with a sister city in Puerto Rico.

This survey has been opened as of Thursday, March 30th and will close onSunday, April 30th.

Please join us for our Puerto Rican Sister City Proposal Event at the Hispanic Center Lehigh Valley (520 E 4th St, Bethlehem, PA 18015) on Wednesday, May 31st from 5:30 - 7pm to discuss our survey results and begin narrowing down our sister city opportunities.

The selection of a sister city depends on a formal agreement between our cities.
