Langworthy: Helping Arnot Ogden With Generator $$$

Congressman Nick Langworthy says, there’s a FEMA grant coming in to Arnot Ogden Medical Center in Chemung County, a grant worth just over $2.6 million dollars.  This will go towards emergency generators, which Langworthy noted, are so necessary, during this kind of weather.  “I want to thank Congressman Langworthy for his steadfast support in securing this FEMA grant and his continued advocacy for rural healthcare,” said Arnot Health President and CEO Jonathan Lawrence. “This funding will enable us to update our emergency generators, a vital component in maintaining uninterrupted patient care. In the face of winter storms and other weather emergencies, this investment ensures that our critical rural hospital is ready to meet the healthcare needs of our community, no matter the circumstances.”

Steuben County’s new legislative chairperson Kelly Fitzpatrick is now on the county Industrial Development Agency Board.   "I am also getting to serve on the Steuben County I.D.A Board.," Fitzpatrick tells WVIN News.   "I did get to meet with I.D.A. Director Jamie Johnson and he said that 2024 is going to be a year of planning.  We are very fortunate here in Bath, that we have the LP Building Solutions, we have Amazon, the new recycling facility that's going up near Amazon.  I think that we are in an upward swing, and it's very exciting," Fitzpatrick said this morning.
