Episode Synopsis

In this episode, we discuss: What Bob sees in NEPA that makes him believe our business landscape is in great shape. The changing mindset leading to FRANCHISES joining the Chamber.  How businesses can get thousands of dollars in free marketing and advertising. The homegrown "boutique" business boom in NEPA. An positive update from Wilkes-Barre Scranton International Airport on the performance of Breeze Airways. With few office vacancies in downtown Scranton, Bob details an exciting new way for existing and startup businesses to have a physical workspace for day to day operations, meetings, and networking (in a relatively inexpensive way).  Is downtown Scranton a "Cosmopolitan Community?"   Bob says "yes," and explains why. Plus, we end with an amazing, local success story that started with the Chamber.
