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.
