🚧✨ Construction season is officially underway in Downtown Pittston!

Work is beginning on several façade improvement projects throughout the downtown district thanks to a Local Share Account grant secured by the Pittston Redevelopment Authority last year. Through this program, six local businesses will receive aesthetic upgrades including new lighting, fresh paint, awnings, and other exterior improvements.

These exciting updates are being completed with the help of D & M Construction and are another step toward continuing the revitalization and beautification of our downtown community. Stay tuned as these transformations begin to take shape!

This week, the Northeast Pennsylvania Land Bank was recognized at the 30th Annual Governor’s Awards for Local Government Excellence for its Innovative Planning and Sound Land Practices through the Mod Home Initiative.

The NEPA Land Bank’s Mod Home Initiative is reshaping how we approach affordable housing. Through a strong partnership between the City of Pittston, the NEPA Land Bank, and the Pittston Housing Authority, this program brings modular, factory-built homes to vacant lots—creating quality, affordable housing opportunities for families in need. It’s a smart, forward-thinking solution that not only addresses today’s housing challenges, but also lays the groundwork for a scalable, sustainable model for communities in the future.
