PITTSTON — PA Secretary of Transportation Michael Carroll came home to accept the third Annual Titan Award given by the Greater Pittston Chamber of Commerce (GPCC) on Thursday evening at The Banks – A Waterfront Venue.
Carroll was honored by Robert Buckley Jr. of Buckley & Co., the construction company involved in the repair of the I-95 bridge destroyed by the tanker filled with gasoline that crashed into the underpass in Philadelphia.
Buckley, the company’s president, complimented Carroll for being instrumental in the two-week repair of one of the busiest interstates in the Philadelphia area.

O’Boyle, GPCC 2nd vice chair of the board of directors, congratulated Carroll on the Titan Award and all he has done for Greater Pittston, especially while Carroll served as State Rep.
