OXFORD – The Chenango County Board of Supervisors passed a resolution this month urging the New York State Department of Health to find a use for the existing New York State Veterans’ Home building located on county Route 32 in the Town of Oxford.

A 50 percent larger residential home has been taking shape this spring on the hillside adjacent to the 1970s era structure. A previous facility, built in 1897, was demolished to make way for the current complex.
