According to a news release on Wednesday, December 19th, a 20-acre site at the Broome Corporate Park is about to be purchased by Old Dominion Freight Line, which is a national freight company.

We look forward to welcoming Old Dominion Freight Line to Broome County and seeing the positive impact this will bring to our community. - Broome County Executive Jason Garnar
