This profile provides general information for Broome County (physical setting, population and demographics, general building stock, and land use and population trends) and critical facilities located within the County. GENERAL INFORMATION Broome County is a rural community located within the south-central part or “Southern Tier” of New York State. The Southern Tier is a geographical term that refers to the counties of New York State that lie west of the Catskill Mountains, along the northern border of Pennsylvania.

Broome County is one of the 62 counties in New York State and is comprised of one city, sixteen towns, seven villages and many hamlets. The City of Binghamton is the County seat and is located at the confluence of the Susquehanna and Chenango Rivers.

  • 2018 State of the City Address by Mayor Richard C
    2018 State of the City Address by Mayor Richard C. David Binghamton City Council Chambers Feb. 22, 2018 President Matzo, members of City Council, including our newest councilmember Sophia Resciniti, local elected leaders, those watching at home and in the audience tonight — good evening. Over the last four years, I’ve talked a great deal about the need for City Hall to do the things that matter in local government: strengthen and modernize our police department, repair crumbling infrastructure, combat neighborhood blight, and deliver property tax relief to some of the highest- taxed homeowners in New York State. On the surface, these are the most basic responsibilities of local government. But they required bold action to become reality. Our success in these areas, and many others, has strengthened the City’s foundation and created a momentum you can see downtown, in our neighborhoods and in the projects happening across the City. Binghamton is different now than it was four years ago. Downtown has new and exciting restaurants, breweries and shops. Our neighborhoods have fewer eyesores and newer streets. Binghamton University has a bigger footprint, and soon, SUNY Broome will, too. Binghamton is emerging as a city ahead of the curve. We are a place where young professionals want to live, entrepreneurs want to start their businesses, and visitors from across the region want to experience the growing arts and culture scene. This momentum has set Binghamton apart as a leader in the Southern Tier. It has also created a diverse set of new opportunities and challenges. Navigating this has required a spirit of bipartisan cooperation, which this Administration and City Council have shown time and again.

  • The Many Hands Food Cooperative
    THE MANY HANDS FOOD COOPERATIVE: Ending Food Deserts and Building Sustainable Communities through Asset- Ownership and Community Empowerment Report by EAMON ROSS MAY 2018 About the Roosevelt Institute Until the rules work for every American, they’re not working. The Roosevelt Institute asks: What does a better society look like? Armed with a bold vision for the future, we push the economic and social debate forward. We believe that those at the top hold too much power and wealth, and that our economy will be stronger when that changes. Ultimately, we want our work to move the country toward a new economic and political system: one built by many for the good of all. It will take all of us to rewrite the rules. From emerging leaders to Nobel laureate economists, we’ve built a network of thousands. At Roosevelt, we make influencers more thoughtful and thinkers more influential. We also celebrate—and are inspired by—those whose work embodies the values of both Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt and carries their vision forward today. About the Author Eamon Ross is an Emerging Fellow at the Roosevelt Institute and a senior at Binghamton University, majoring in political science. From Queens, New York, he transferred to Binghamton University after receiving his associate's degree in social sciences from LaGuardia Community College. With an interest in widening avenues of social mobility, Ross researched and wrote a policy proposal in the fall of 2016, calling for the establishment of a community-owned grocery store as a means to address food deserts and social stratification in Binghamton, New York.

To support the expansion of manufacturing companies for the retention of jobs? To foster new and modern urban living opportunities? Is it to em- brace and support the next generation of entrepreneurs who are building tomorrow’s companies today? Or is economic development identifying and addressing the needs of a 21st century workforce to attract talented professionals and skilled workers? We think economic development is all of that as well as the unapologetic pride in our community, in our businesses, and in our people. We are at the be- ginning of a very exciting time in Broome County. Knowledge, vision and opportunity are colliding to create impactful partnerships and dynamic economic opportunity. Broome County truly provides a good life and it is a privilege to support and grow our economy.
