County takes ownership of five flooded out properties

NORWICH – Chenango County now owns five residential properties that it didn’t want in the first place thanks to a New York state flood remediation program.

After a year of investigation, coordination and $20,000 spent on a consultant, the following are now on the tax rolls: properties located on Prentice Street in the City of Norwich; East Main Street in the Village of Afton; North Chenango Street in Greene; Rt. 8 in Mt. Upton; and Rt. 41 in Afton.
