SCRANTON, Pa. (AP) — A struggling northeastern Pennsylvania mall will soon be the home of a satellite campus of a college in the region.
The (Scranton) Times-Tribune (http://bit.ly/1rDj74Z ) reports that Luzerne County Community College will open a campus at the Mall at Steamtown in Scranton.
Mall spokesman Joe Gibbons confirmed the plan Monday and said the college will be on the second floor of the former Bon-Ton store.
A formal announcement is planned Wednesday by the mall and the college, which has been looking for a satellite campus location in Lackawanna County since 2014.
Real estate developer and commercial roofer John Basalyga purchased the mall for a little over $5.5 million at a sheriff's sale in June of last year.
