SCRANTON — Development of Montage Mountain that began in the 1980s has since turned that landscape into a regional commercial and tourist hub. It features a ski resort/water park, minor-league baseball, concerts, strip-mall shops, offices, restaurants, hotels, a cineplex, golf course and upscale homes, among others.
Now, with a major slopeside hotel on the drawing board, room for more growth on undeveloped parcels and some office buildings with vacancies, Lackawanna County seeks a consultant to do a comprehensive economic development plan to prepare for, and shape, the future of Montage Mountain.
