The Greater Hazleton Chamber of Commerce recently conducted a non-scientific survey to solicit Chamber members’ opinions regarding the proposed tolling of Interstate 80. According to Lew Dryfoos, III, Chamber Vice President of Transportation, “The intent was to design a survey that was not biased. 1262 invitations were emailed, a link was placed on the Chamber’s website, and information on how to participate was in the Chamber’s monthly newsletter.” Dryfoos further states, “of the 1262 invitations sent, 231 were bounced back for some reason or another; 361 people opened the invitation and 147 participated.”
The
Greater Hazleton Chamber of Commerce invites all chamber member businesses,

The City of Hazleton received
the first allotment of much-needed trash receptacles that have been placed in
the Downtown area. Thanks to a donation,
and coordination of the project from the Chamber’s Downtown committee, a
donation from PPL Corporation, and the in-kind donation from the Keystone Job
Corps Center, forty-one new trash receptacles are in the process of being
manufactured with eight being completed to date and placed on sidewalks in the
Downtown area.
According to Bill Spear,
Chamber Downtown chairman, “This project was a direct result of our Downtown
committee’s suggestions to use the talents of the students at the Keystone Job
Corps Center. We all thought it would be
a great opportunity for us to get a product that we desperately need to help
rid the area of litter, and a terrific opportunity to work with the students
and staff in the trades department at the Keystone Job Corps Center.” Spear continued, “We know we have an
excellent source of talent right here in our own back yard and we wanted to
take full advantage of this talent. The
committee could have simply purchased the entire unit from a company but felt
that this was certainly the way to proceed with the students.”
