I'm excited to be a part of the newly formed Building Permit Taskforce. I believe residents will see many of the changes in the city that they hope to with reform to our city's licensing and permits structure. If you've experienced an issue in obtaining permits, I would be interested in hearing about those problems so that this taskforce can address them.

SCRANTON — A taskforce of contractors, trade union representatives, city officials and others will work to streamline and enhance Scranton's licensing and permits processes.
