Central New York business, government and transportation leaders are telling Congressman John Katko (R-Camillus) what they’d like to see in an infrastructure bill.
President Joe Biden has outlined his own priorities in a $2 trillion plan, but Congress will ultimately decide just what to include and how much it’ll cost. Oswego County Administrator Philip Church says it comes down to two words: Broadband and wastewater.
“We are starting up a county-wide citizen survey that will determine the needs in the rural and urban areas including the speeds that exist in those spots,” Church said.

OSWEGO COUNTY– Oswego County marked National County Government Month with a proclamation ahead of the full County Legislature meeting in April.
Since 1991, the National Association of Counties (NACo) has encouraged this commemoration for counties to raise awareness about the essential programs and services they offer to support residents and businesses. The theme for this year’s tribute, “Counties Matter,” recognizes these critical functions, especially the leadership and guidance counties have demonstrated in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.
