OA Alert: On Wednesday, August 24th, the Village of Owego will be paving the following roads, George Street, Hill Street, and Spruce Street. The paving will limit access to our main campus (OES, OAMS, OFA), and all drivers will need to enter and exit on Route 96 near the Bus Garage.
Please be mindful that this will take most of the day and that traffic will not be allowed on the roads until the pavement is ready.
