On March 17, 2023, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer announced he personally secured a major federal investment of $750,000 to expand access to affordable childcare to hundreds of families in Broome County. Senator Schumer said this funding will go directly to tackling childcare deserts in the Greater Binghamton area by helping the Broome County Urban League renovate their facilities and strengthen their programming to create up to 475 new slots for daycare, toddler, and afterschool childcare. Senator Schumer explained that access to affordable childcare is directly tied to the community’s workforce development, and that this major federal investment he secured will help hundreds of families and boost the local economy by supporting professionals employed in industries that may require non-traditional work schedules such as manufacturing, healthcare, and education.
