Have you seen what's new at the former #BethlehemSteel site in #lackawanna ?

“For more than 30 years, the former Bethlehem Steel site in Lackawanna sat vacant. However, in less than a decade we've turned 250 acres of the site into the new Renaissance Commerce Park, and with it new jobs for the region. This is just the start. The best is yet to come! https://t.co/RKnOgU8xe3...
