SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU)— A historic building in Lackawanna County is getting new life.

City Hall in Scranton underwent significant upgrades.

The stained glass windows have been replaced throughout the building, along with roof tiles and repairs to mortar joints.

It was a 14-month process that cost $4.8 million, with $1.5 million coming from Pennsylvania's Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program and a portion of Scranton's American Rescue Plan Act funds.

ARCHBALD, LACKAWANNA COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — Another clash over the future of energy in northeastern Pennsylvania, this time in Archbald. The borough council voted on an amendment to its zoning ordinance for data centers.

The proposal failed, a decision that pleased many residents but frustrated the zoning board.28/22's Avery Nape was at the meeting Friday night to learn why the change drew so much opposition.

"We are not going anywhere. We will continue to fight for you to save our community from these that see profit instead of people," Geralyn Esposito of Archbald said.
