George Brown

Wilkes-Barre Mayor George Brown announced today that Horton street is now open to traffic.

Both Wilkes-Barre and Scranton have found alternative partners for the Code Blue program that was previously organized by Keystone Mission in both cities.

The busy thoroughfare in South Wilkes-Barre, which has been closed for nearly five months after two sinkholes opened up this summer, is now expected to reopen next week.

The Rev. Joseph Murgas developed the wireless tone system in the basement rectory of Sacred Heart Church in Wilkes-Barre. His work will be remembered on Saturday, as the cities’ current mayors share the same messages their predecessors sent via Morse code in 1905.

Board asks Gov. Josh Shapiro's office and the region's legislative delegation to halt any sale of WBGH, which was announced earlier this week with the news that owner Commonwealth Health had signed a letter of intent with Tenor, a California-based nonprofit, to sell three facilities in NEPA.

Some of NEPA’s newest U.S. citizens waved small American flags, said the Pledge of Allegiance and sang “God Bless America.” Their journey to citizenship was honored during a ceremony in Wilkes-Barre.

City of Wilkes-Barre employees are the latest to receive discounted tuition from Luzerne County Community College as part of the school’s workforce development partnership program.

Wilkes-Barre Mayor George Brown and Quisqueyana Multiservice held a Citizenship Recognition Ceremony for new U.S. citizens in the city.

Officials gather at CrisNics to give neighbors an update on repairs to sewer/stormwater line in wake of Wilkes-Barre sinkholes.

Gathering at CrisNic's will provide neighborhood residents with information about how work will affect the area.
