Williamsport, Lycoming County-
The heads of several local cities gathered in Lycoming County Friday.
Williamsport Mayor Gabe Campana hosted mayors from a handful of cities in northeastern and central Pennsylvania.
They held a roundtable discussion on a variety of issues affecting their cities. Topics included crime prevention, financial challenges, economic development, interstate tolls, and more.
The goal was to foster a stronger working relationship between the cities.
Scranton Mayor Chris Doherty explained, "What that allows mayors to do is to find out not only what our challenges are, but what works. How do we make our cities better, because that's why we took the job."
The mayors say they plan to hold similar conferences on a yearly basis. | |
