food desert

The North Side of the City of Binghamton officially loses its “Food Desert” title with the official opening of a new grocery store.

The head of the Broome County Council of Churches says the plans for a new grocery store for a "food desert" Binghamton neighborhood is on schedule.

The Community Hunger Outreach Warehouse is prepared to begin runs of the CHOW Bus Mobile Grocery Store.

Binghamton’s North Side “food desert” still isn’t getting its own grocery store, but plans are moving ahead to make shopping easier for residents, many of whom don’t or can’t drive.
