revolutionary “live-work-play” response to the generation’s endured economic and social factors to date. The urban redevelopment of downtown is going on right before our eyes. Shared office space, the rental vs. the purchase of just about everything continues keeping the workforce agile and flex- ible for the next economic op- portunity from coast to coast. The application of Penn’s Northeast in pursuit of the cor- porate giant, Amazon, to bring its headquarters here was an exciting and fitting example of a region eager to grow and
prosper once again using some of the old bones of prior facilities to compete in the modern era. Along with downtown regions improving, the I-81 corridor is one of the fastest growing mar- kets for industrial/logistics use in the country and is a hotbed for investment dollars from eq- uity groups nationwide.

People used to walk to work – saving cost of ad- ditional vehicles and expenses. Living near the workplace was a norm for the local communities and we can expect manufactur- ers to look for comparable prop- erties in neighborhoods around the greater Scranton/Wilkes- Barre area since the cost savings to families is an economic benefit given to the workers without a tax to the company. The costs to operate in New Jersey in combination with the pressure owners of industrial properties are facing to decide the greater return lies with the redevelopment of apartments is pushing manufacturers west. As a brokerage firm, we are hopeful that economic develop- ment organizations throughout the northeast work together to create a greater product than that sum of its parts as a united northeastern Pennsylvania to capture such opportunities for growth.
