Pittston’s revitalization has a new name.

The mayor calls it “Main Street Too.”

After years of downtown progress, the city’s leadership is looking to branch out and develop the second phase of the city’s renaissance that will stretch to the borders of other municipalities.

The City of Pittston was recently awarded $500,000 in grant funding to redevelop a former lumber yard, just one of dozens of projects awarded locally through the Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program.

A developer plans to create a mixed-use restaurant and event space at the property on the 200 block of North Main Street.

“This project will have an impact. It will take an under-performing property and make it one that will produce taxes for the city, the county, the school district and the Commonwealth,” Pittston Mayor Mike Lombardo said.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro agrees.

“Every day, my Administration is focused on getting stuff done for the good people of Pennsylvania — and we’re proud to support hundreds of projects across the Commonwealth that will create jobs, strengthen our economy, and deliver real results for our communities,” Shapiro said in a prepared statement.

Projects in Luzerne County include:

• West Broad Street Development: $1 million to support interior fit-out and equipment installation for a commercial redevelopment project including HVAC, plumbing, and fire systems.

• Blasi Printing: $1 million to support modernization of an industrial facility including roof replacement, HVAC upgrades, and energy efficiency improvements.

• Carey Holdings Redevelopment: $1 million to support redevelopment of a former stadium site into a parking and access infrastructure project.

• Dallas Suits: $1 million to support site preparation and infrastructure development for a mixed-use construction project including utilities, grading, and roadway improvements.

• Empire Street Redevelopment: $400,000 to support redevelopment of a historic mill into multi-family housing with structural, mechanical, and interior residential upgrades.

• Gateway Shopping Center: $500,000 to support upgrades and expansion of a healthcare and commercial facility including HVAC replacement, roof work, and site improvements.

• King’s College track: $1 million to support reconstruction of a collegiate athletic track facility with surface replacement and NCAA-compliant field upgrades.

• LCCC Hazleton: $1 million to renovate and expand the Hazleton Broad Street Exchange Building, creating a modern education and workforce training hub with classrooms, labs, and nursing program space.

• Lumber yard conversion: $500,000 to support redevelopment of a former industrial building in Pittston into a mixed-use restaurant and event space with parking and site improvements.

• Misericordia University LEAP Center: $500,000 to support renovation of a university facility including clinical labs, training spaces, fitness areas, and program support spaces.

• SPCA campus: $500,000 to support construction of a new animal shelter campus with veterinary, adoption, and education facilities.

Shapiro said these are great investments toward the future growth of the state.

“Through this round of RACP investments, my administration is investing nearly $445 million in projects to revitalize communities, create more opportunity, and drive long-term growth,” the governor said. “Pennsylvania is open for business, and we will continue working with the private sector, nonprofits, and organized labor to make our Commonwealth a leader in economic development, job creation, and innovation.”
