Short Term Rental Information

In January 2023, Jackson Township updated its short-term rental rules and excluded the Residential and Industrial zoning areas from being eligible for new STR licenses. Short-term rentals are allowed in the Recreation/Commercial District, Commercial District Conservation District and Village Districts of Jackson Township. No new STR licenses are being issued in residential districts, those with existing STR licenses AND a Certificate of Non-Conformance will be “grandfathered in.” Details on Jackson Township’s new STR rules are readily available from the township.

Last night, Stroudsburg lost their home opener to Pocono Mountain East. The final score was, 73-42, on a night where the Mountaineers were not able to get anything to go right for them.

Early in the first quarter, Stroudsburg was neck and neck with East, with Alex Pacitti, ‘25, knocking down two three-pointers to give Stroudsburg one-point deficit. This would be the closest the game would be at any point as East ended the quarter on a 5-0 run.

The two teams battled into the end of the first half as Stroudsburg went into the locker trailing by eight.
