A pedestrian who was seriously hurt in a hit-and-run incident near the Binghamton Boscov’s store has died as a result of his injuries. A Binghamton man who shot a person at a city deli is heading to prison under a plea deal. The Binghamton Move Out Project is currently in search of volunteers to collect, sort, and distribute items left behind by students. Eleven 2024 projects in New York State have been recognized as a part of the 2024 New York State Historic Preservation Awards, including one in Johnson City. Demolition crews have started removing the familiar front portion of the terminal building at the Greater Binghamton Airport. On April 16, 2024, the Cortland County Sheriff’s Office, deputies were called in to investigate possible skimming devices. Johnson City firefighters were sent to the old Goudey Power Station to extinguish a blaze at the abandoned generating plant. After years of planning, the long-awaited reconstruction of Washington Avenue in Endicott is underway. According to the Lottery Geeks article, there are several reasons for an increase, including Mega Millions distinguishing their draw game from Powerball, which they note is frequently mistaken as the same game, and another reason is to increase jackpot sizes and potentially non-jackpot prizes.
