SCRANTON
The Lackawanna County commissioners and prison board meetings originally scheduled for Wednesday have been rescheduled to Nov. 27, the day before Thanksgiving.
The new meeting date likely will be the commissioners’ last opportunity to vote on the county’s 2020 budget, which must be adopted by Dec. 1. The county is closed Nov. 28 and 29 for the holiday. Next year’s budget does not raise property taxes.
Both meetings will be held in the fifth-floor conference room of the county government center at the former Globe store, 123 Wyoming Ave. The commissioners meeting begins at 10 a.m. and the prison board meeting starts at 1:30 p.m.
