Are there any grants or any kind of city money for work like what you're doing? I would think towns like Wilkes-Barre and Scranton would be bending over backwards to try and attract the sorts of businesses that would rely on infrastructure like what you're putting down. That you have to do all this with your own money and credit seems really wrong.

are roads not infrastructure? that transports food, and medicine?
In the article, he's referring to people complaining about a 2-minute increase in their commute time for something that can absolutely benefit the community.

The short-sightedness is astounding.
