More than 30 agencies with a wide range of services, ranging from housing to substance abuse recovery to education, set up shop in Kirby Park on Sunday to aid those in need as part of the Luzerne County Cares Commission’s Resource Day. ...Also on hand were a couple of lawmakers with an eye on fighting the many issues that Northeastern Pennsylvanians grapple with on a daily basis: Wilkes-Barre mayor George Brown and U.S. Rep. Matt Cartwright, D-Moosic.“We really want to bring back the city,” Brown said. “Thanks to Congressman Cartwright, we will be able to help you with funding for your agencies.” Brown was referring to the $37.1 million that was secured for the city of Wilkes-Barre via the American Recovery plan, an allotment of which will be given out to many of the local organizations represented in Kirby Park on Sunday. |
