Starting Monday, the Lackawanna Senior Center, located at 230 Martin Road, will be closed until further notice. During the Senior Center's temporary closure, lunches, activities and van services will not be provided. This does not include the Meals on Wheels program.
Additionally, starting Monday, Lackawanna City Hall will be open by appointment only. The offices in Lackawanna City Hall will remain staffed Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., except for the treasurer's office and the city clerk's office, which both close at 4 p.m.
