COLTS seeks property for transportation center
“The County of Lackawanna Transit System plans to use eminent domain to acquire a downtown property needed for its long-delayed intermodal transportation center.
The parcel at 25 Lackawanna Ave., owned by Scranton Mall Partners LP and now occupied by Tom Hesser Nissan, would be used to replace parking at the State Office Building on the opposite side of Lackawanna Avenue.
COLTS solicitor Timothy Hinton filed a declaration of taking in county court Tuesday, seeking to condemn the property, which is just under an acre. The COLTS board authorized the use of eminent domain at its Jan. 21 meeting.”
