The Electric City & Beyond: Data Centers, AI, and the NEPA Strategic Plan

Scranton earned its name as the Electric City, but the current landscape is being powered by a new kind of energy: data, connectivity, and innovation. In this episode, Bob Durkin, President and CEO of the Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce, joins us to discuss the launch of a new strategic plan designed to navigate the NEPA economy through the next three to five years. From the rapid rise of data centers and A.I. to the critical evolution of healthcare and housing in Lackawanna County, we explore how the Chamber is using a "living document" to ensure the region doesn't just keep up, but leads. Discover how "Big Hairy Audacious Goals" are being transformed into a tangible annual work plan that serves every business in the region, from solo entrepreneurs to major corporations.

The $2 Million Bet on Scranton’s Future! Discussing Scranton Plan 3.0 during the February edition of the Local Business Community Update

The blueprint is drawn, but can Scranton actually deliver? In this episode, we go behind the scenes of Scranton Plan 3.0, a massive economic recalibration designed to span from 2026 to 2030. Amy Lester, VP of Business and Workforce Development, joins us to explain why the Chamber is moving past traditional models to embrace a high-stakes, nonprofit strategy. It’s not just about business—it’s about a $2 million mission to change the narrative of the region. We tackle the "elephant in the room": the talent drain to neighboring states. Amy shares a candid look at why local graduates leave and, more importantly, the specific "pivot" the Chamber is making to ensure the next generation finds a reason to stay. If you’ve ever wondered how a city actually builds a future from the ground up, this "peek behind the curtain" reveals the financial risks and collaborative partnerships required to move a community forward.

Beyond the Classroom: Showcasing how "the Chamber" is Preparing the Workforce Pennsylvania Desperately Needs

Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce President and CEO, Bob Durkin, returns to discuss the Chamber's ongoing efforts to bridge the gap between education and the workforce. This month, the focus is on emerging career pathways for students. Get the details on the exciting "Groundhog Day" job shadowing event (Skills in Scranton's initiative) taking place on February 2, 2026, aimed at exposing 5th through 8th-grade students to local businesses and different professional skill sets. Businesses are encouraged to sign up by the December 15th deadline! Plus, learn how the annual Workforce Summit has evolved from a traditional job fair into a targeted event connecting high school students (particularly those not immediately pursuing a four-year degree) with over 50 local companies. Discover the critical need for a prepared workforce—with only 66 people available for every 100 jobs in Pennsylvania—and how the Chamber is inspiring the next generation by creating essential, real-world opportunities.
