📢 Big things are happening in Owego! 📢

We were thrilled to welcome U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer to our district to celebrate a massive win for our students, adult learners, and the entire Tioga County community!

Thanks to Senator Schumer’s incredible advocacy, $811,000 in federal funding was secured to help launch the brand-new Tioga Regional Career and Technical Education Center—a Broome-Tioga BOCES satellite campus in Owego.

By converting one of our current maintenance facilities into a state-of-the-art educational hub, we are bringing life-changing opportunities directly to our backyard.

What this means for our community:
Goodbye, long commutes: Currently, Tioga County students lose up to 2 hours of valuable learning time every single day traveling to the BOCES Binghamton Campus.
Serving all ages: The center will provide hands-on career and technical training to 150 high school students during the day and 50 adult community members at night.
High-demand career paths: Programs expanding into advanced manufacturing, energy storage, hospitality, agriculture, and healthcare.

"This funding is a tremendous win for our region, strengthening our ability to build a skilled local talent pipeline and support the long-term growth of Tioga County and the Southern Tier." — Dr. Corey Green, OACSD Superintendent.

Senator Schumer called the new facility a "win-win for workforce development and the Tioga County economy," and we couldn't agree more.
