There is no greater need in Binghamton than housing.
Today, a bipartisan coalition urged New York State to support Stadium Lofts, 65 new apartments near Mirabito Stadium.
It's the only affordable housing tax credit application from Broome County.

Recreation Park was the most popular pool with more than 1,300 swimmers.
In 2022, we eliminated fees for our public swimming pools. Summer is far from over, pool hours here: cityofbinghamton.recdesk.com…

🚨⚾️ The @RumblePoniesBB are extending their lease through 2035, and we have secured a $6 million state investment in Mirabito Stadium!
Funding from New York State is an unprecedented investment in the future of professional baseball in Binghamton. It makes possible essential stadium upgrades that will keep the ballpark in compliance with MLB standards and help keep the gates open for local families and visitors who enjoy cheering on the Ponies every year. wbng.com/2026/06/01/binghamt…

UPDATE: Demolitions crews are on site at 263 Washington St.
After years of letting this dangerous eyesore crumble, the property owner failed to meet the City’s deadline for tearing it down.
As promised, we’re not waiting any longer. The City has hired a contractor to demolish the building and will send the property owner the bill.
Residents and businesses in this neighborhood have waited long enough. We're cleaning up this eyesore today.
The building at 263 Washington St. must be demolished. Today, the City of Binghamton is putting the owner on notice — tear down this dangerous property ASAP or the City will demolish it and send them the bill.
For years, this property owner has been in court and has let this eyesore crumble. Time's up.
Happy 159th birthday, Binghamton! 🎂

Exciting progress for Binghamton's North Side! The City of Binghamton has officially launched revitalization efforts for the Binghamton Plaza site.
After taking ownership of the 24-acre property earlier this month following a hard-fought legal battle, we are wasting no time:
✅ MKSK Studios is leading a feasibility study and redevelopment plan
✅ A public engagement website is live — residents can share their vision and get updates direct from City Hall
✅ Project Advisory Committee has held a kick-off meeting
✅Environmental testing and pre-demolition work is underway
Share your input for the future of this site: engagemksk.mysocialpinpoint.…
Today, the City officially took ownership of the Binghamton Plaza.
After decades of decline, this strategic North Side property is now under public control.
This is an important milestone in our efforts to clean up one of Binghamton’s biggest eyesores and revitalize the surrounding neighborhood.
This has been a long time coming. We never gave up the fight.
Stay tuned. More coming soon on next steps for the site.

New York State Dem @SenatorCooney tells our @JasonBeeferman the state should think bigger when it comes to investing in transportation infrastructure.
"High Speed Rail can be the Erie Canal of 2026 and beyond," he said at @POLITICOLive's Albany Summit.

Tomorrow, it’s a gold medal morning 🇺🇸
I’ve directed the State Liquor Authority to suspend enforcement of alcohol service hours from 6–10 AM so bars and restaurants can open early and fans can watch the U.S. go for the gold together.
This is only for counties not under a State of Emergency.
New Yorkers in emergency areas should stay home, stay safe, and cheer loud!
Go USA!
There’s real movement on passenger rail in our region. @PennDOTNews advanced plans to restore passenger rail service between Scranton and New York City.
That step carries weight here in the Southern Tier. A restored Scranton–NYC line reestablishes a critical piece of the corridor that historically connected our communities. When rail returns to Scranton, the conversation naturally shifts north. That’s where Binghamton comes in.
We’ve been engaged with partners and tracking this effort closely because progress to Scranton strengthens the case for expanding service further into Upstate New York.
Stay tuned for next steps in Binghamton!

Governor Kathy Hochul announced the completion of Confluence Court, a $45 million affordable and supportive housing development at 200 Court Street in the city of Binghamton. The project transformed a long-vacant manufacturing warehouse into 111 all-electric apartments, including 60 homes with on-site services for veterans experiencing homelessness and others in need of support to live independently. Under Governor Hochul’s leadership, New York State Homes and Community Renewal (HCR) has created or preserved over 1,100 affordable homes in Broome County. Confluence Court continues this effort and complements Governor Hochul’s $25 billion five-year Housing Plan which is on track to create or preserve 100,000 affordable homes statewide.
“Confluence Court showcases the incredible impact we can have when we invest boldly in our communities and in New Yorkers,” Governor Hochul said. “By transforming this historic building into vibrant, affordable homes with on-site supportive services, we are creating new opportunities for veterans and vulnerable New Yorkers to thrive. My administration is working closely with local officials to ensure residents in every region of this state have access to safe, affordable housing and the support they need to succeed.”
