Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania

Lackawanna County sits in northeastern Pennsylvania's anthracite valley, centered on Scranton and Dunmore with smaller boroughs stepping up the Lackawanna River toward Carbondale. Healthcare, higher education, and logistics at the I-81/I-84/I-380 junction carry the market, with big-box warehouse absorption concentrated in Jessup and Archbald and housing demand in South Abington Township, where mine subsidence, floodplain, and reclaimed culm banks constrain sites.
