2018 PA Governor's race: on Technology


Lou Barletta: Spend on infrastructure before it costs more

In many states transportation infrastructure is suffering from a lack of sufficient maintenance. Pennsylvania alone is home to more than 5,000 structurally deficient bridges. As Chairman of a Subcommittee of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, Barletta feels strongly that we need to fix this today, before it becomes any more expensive.

Tom Wolf: Redevelopment project to revitalize the Pittston waterfront

Governor Tom Wolf announced last week new funding to revitalize the Pittston waterfront by converting an underused warehouse into a mixed-use facility with apartments, offices, retail space, and a business incubator.

"This comprehensive redevelopment project will be a noticeable update to a section of downtown Pittston that has a lot of potential, but not expansive use," Wolf said. "By renovating the structure and surrounding area, we will be creating jobs, expanding offerings for businesses, college students and residents, while opening up opportunities for more economic development."

Waterfront Management Group was approved for a $2 million grant to rehabilitate a 101,997-square-foot warehouse at the corner of East Street and Kennedy Boulevard. The completed project is expected to have 27 apartments, a food court, and a business incubator with space for 36 units.
