Broome County is getting over $200,000 in New York State funds to make improvements to its emergency response operations.
Governor Andrew Cuomo this week announced $10-million statewide for upgrades to 911 response and emergency service dispatch operations.
Broome County is getting $210,433. Chenango is getting $188,034, Cortland $188,819, Delaware $142,977, Tioga $129,555 and Tompkins County $131,693.
