Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, has canceled a $2 million American Rescue Plan grant for a parking garage at the former Hotel Sterling site in Wilkes-Barre due to funding issues. The project required $4.5 million, but the Wilkes-Barre Industrial Development Authority couldn't secure all needed funds. The council also approved a $300,000 settlement for a lawsuit involving the death of a former inmate in the county's correctional facility.
