Luzerne County and its two major cities, Hazleton and Wilkes-Barre, is a vigorous, thriving and exciting region in Northeastern Pennsylvania. The county is full of new opportunities and prospects, new jobs and a refreshing new vitality.
Any traveler passing through this region on I-81 quickly develops a positive “windshield impression.” Although our county looks good from the highway, it looks even better close up. Thanks to the cooperative efforts of more than a dozen local, regional and state organizations – public and private – the local communities have remarkably recharged their batteries and are focused on creating a better life for everyone that calls Luzerne County home.
