Several residential units designed to provide housing for Broome County veterans are expected to be put in place soon.

The so-called "tiny homes" will be located on Binghamton's North Side on a site where a bowling alley had operated for decades.

The ten modular structures will be near a Veterans Resource Center east of Chenango Street between State and Frederick streets.

Broome County Executive Jason Garnar said the residential buildings should be arriving "imminently." He told WNBF News he expects the tiny homes to be delivered within the next two to four weeks.

Garnar said the building which will house offices for veterans services agencies is "about 95 percent" complete.

The county executive said workers this week have been pouring concrete for the sidewalks around the new facility and working on landscaping at the site.

The $12.2 million project to support Broome County veterans is located near the Binghamton Plaza and the Town & Country Apartments.
