SCRANTON, Pa. — Mayor Paige Cognetti spent the day Wednesday strolling around downtown Scranton with the Acting Secretary of Pennsylvania's Department of Community and Economic Development.
It's all part of Small Business Week in Pennsylvania, which Governor Wolf created to show the impact small businesses have on the economy and our communities.
Business owners along the route appreciate the support.
"We think everyday should be shop small. You know, we're a mom-and-pop shop. We think that the local community should support the smaller shops and the family-owned organizations," said Thomas Bonin, Commonwealth Coffeehouse owner.
The tour included stops at a hair salon, wellness center, coffeehouse, and clothing boutique in the Electric City.
