Initiatives

Economic Growth. Downtown Investment. Goodwill. Preservation.
 
Our Economic Development Downtown Strategy is paving the way for a formal designation of Downtown Scranton as a Business Improvement District (BID). Volunteers and business leaders are making progress every day through initiatives to stimulate economic growth, preserve, and promote the Downtown Business District, and beautify the City of Scranton.
