NYS Awards Emergency Communications Grants in Tri-County
Otsego, Chenango and Delaware Counties will receive state funding to improve emergency communications. The money is part of $45 million awarded to local governments for expanding emergency response capabilities and enhancing overall public safety operations. The 2019 Statewide Interoperable Communications Grant program supports nine Regional Communications Consortiums, which focus on improving critical emergency communications across the state, as well as coordination between counties, state and federal agencies.
