Broome Closes in on Redrawing Legislative District Maps

Broome County’s committee on legislative redistricting is at the deadline for submitting map modifications.

The Ad Hoc Committee held its final meeting and members had until 5 p.m. December 16 to anonymously email their proposals based on the latest census population numbers.

Several video conference meetings have been held to take input on the reworking of the legislative districts to reflect shifts in population as noted in the 2020 census.

The committee members will submit anonymous map proposals with another meeting on December 21 to review the maps and narrow down final versions to submit.

The final steps will be a public hearing on December 27 to receive public comment on the finalist before settling on the new district make-up.
