“Northeast Pennsylvania packs a whole lot into one corner of the state,” said Christine Mackin Meluskey, President of the Wilkes-Barre Rotary Club, one of the organizing groups. “From hiking trails and breathtaking vistas, to ski slopes and water parks, to craft breweries and eateries dishing out local flavor and the list goes on and on.”

State Rep. Gerald Mullery wants the county visitors bureau to move to the White Haven Community Library and Visitors Center rather than the former train station in downtown Wilkes-Barre.
County council is considering a proposal to move Visit Luzerne County from a building on Public Square to the long-vacant train station property near Wilkes-Barre Boulevard. The renovation of the train station is scheduled to begin later this year.
Council might vote on a proposed five-year lease agreement with Market Square Properties Development LLC, the owner of the property, on April 13.
On Wednesday, Mullery, D-119, Newport Twp., sent council a letter in support of moving the visitors bureau to White Haven instead.
