OWEGO, NY (CortacaToday) — The Village of Owego is gaining a new police vehicle.

On Monday, the Board of Trustees approved the purchase of a Dodge Durango. About $48,000 in COVID-19 relief money will cover the cost.

Also at Monday’s meeting, trustees confirmed the appointment of Peter Schaeffer to the Planning Board. Schaeffer said he wants to help the village grow economically while preserving its “small-town appeal.”
