The Scranton City Planning Commission held a meeting on August 26, 2026, focusing primarily on reviewing land development plans and related waivers. Key procurement-related discussions included the review of a preliminary final land development plan for two warehouse facilities totaling 495,000 square feet, with associated parking and stormwater infrastructure. The commission also reviewed a plan for 14 apartments with office and retail space, addressing waivers related to plan scale, storm pipe size, and improvement guarantees, all of which were approved by vote. Additionally, a new business item involved accepting plans for review for a proposed 1,858 square foot cigar bar and golf simulator facility, including considerations of zoning and flood zone compliance. The commission discussed follow-up actions on landscaping, lighting, and connectivity plans, and touched on the potential development of a complete streets policy, with plans to coordinate with the city law department and council for legislative processes. No specific contract awards or vendor selections were mentioned, but the meeting involved significant planning approvals and policy considerations that could impact future procurement and development activities in Scranton.
