Scranton, PA – November 22, 2024 − Senator Marty Flynn is proud to announce that the Pennsylvania Broadband Development Authority has awarded a Digital Connectivity Technology Program (DCTP) grant to Lackawanna County Government. This grant will provide 100 laptops to be made available to residents through local initiatives aimed at improving access to technology.

The grant was approved during the Authority’s meeting, where funding was distributed to organizations across the Commonwealth. These grants are part of the DCTP’s mission to equip non-profits, community anchor institutions, and local governments with tools to support education, workforce development, health, and employment outcomes.
