About this file
This document is a Pennsylvania State Historic Preservation Office (PA SHPO) environmental review letter dated May 2, 2025, addressing the demolition of a structure at 1848 Clearview Street in Scranton, Lackawanna County, for the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The letter provides a review of the project's potential impacts on historic and archaeological resources under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and Pennsylvania state laws. PA SHPO determines there are no above-ground historic properties in the project area and concludes the proposed demolition should have no effect on archaeological resources, provided excavation is limited to foundation removal and clean off-site fill is used.
The environmental review is part of the City of Scranton's 2025 Demolition Projects, with bids to be received online through the city's e-Procurement Portal until 10:00 am on Wednesday, July 30, 2025. Bidders must register on the portal to access project documents and submit bids. The review letter specifically notes a high probability of prehistoric and/or historic archaeological resources in the area, but finds no significant concerns with the proposed demolition, contingent on following specified excavation guidelines. Potential bidders are required to follow the project on the e-Procurement Portal to receive addenda notifications and be eligible to submit a bid.
