PA City Calls Itself Electric City 2.0

The City of Scranton is calling itself Electric City 2.0 as part of becoming a more sustainable city. Mayor Paige Cognetti talks with host Tate Blanchard about moving from the first electric trolleys in the 1880s to being the first to have an all-electric vehicle code enforcement fleet. She also updates about the economic opportunities that would come along with having an Amtrak passenger rail link to New York City, helping with flood recovery, old infrastructure and investing in things that help kids to like the city where they live and are growing up.
