For four straight years, we’ve increased the number of miles repaired, making our roads safer and more efficient for all who travel through Broome County. This year’s accomplishments would not have been possible without the support of Chairman Dan J. Reynolds, Legislator Matt Pasquale, the Broome County Legislature, along with our partners Assemblywoman Lupardo and Senator Webb, whose investment has allowed us to complete another record-breaking year. - Broome County Executive Jason Garnar
