SCRANTON, Pa. As the former Scranton School for the Deaf sat on the market, many worried about the historic property s future, including the owner, Marywood University.
But Marywood President Sister Mary Persico cut the ribbon on the school s next chapter. The place has been sold to the Jarett Yoder Foundation and will become the Patriot Resource Center at Marywood.
After being on the market for more than five years, the former Scranton School for the Deaf has been sold. The campus will be taken over by a veterans charity.
