Chapter, Lccc Mark Administrative Professionals Week

Lackawanna County commissioners on Tuesday presented a $45,000 check from the county&rsquo;s Environmental Conservation and Outdoor Recreation Grant program to Scranton Mayor Chris Doherty that will help fund two city park projects. The grant will provide $22,500 toward a $125,000 project at Billy Barrett Park in Minooka, including replacing playground equipment, resurfacing a tennis court and a new picnic pavilion, and $22,500 toward a $125,000 project at Connors Park to install new play equipment and a gazebo and picnic area. The grants use Landfill Trust money; no county taxpayer dollars are involved.
