of coal mining in PA goes back to the mid 1800's and it is always dangerous, if you "Google" the mining industry accidents in the country will see what you think. demographics are good in Scranton, although he was economically challenged of late.

I-80 is just a tad bit to far from the corridors Wilkes-Barre Scranton to be of significant value. best deal for this city to what Tulsa OK to do with the toll way to OKC. Ditch it. If the 476 freeway instead of the toll way and in the field are to be opened then a straight shot in Philadelphia could feed the fire and Scranton will be easily accessible to travelers and distribution companies.
