CHENANGO COUNTY – Lawmakers made the necessary budgetary adjustments last week in order to accept an estimated $300,000 more in Consolidated Highway Improvement Program funding coming the county’s way from Albany.

The amount is Chenango County’s share of $50 million in CHIPs funding that was restored in the state’s budget last month specifically for Central New York counties and municipalities, and a portion of $82 million that the region received for transportation and infrastructure through the Obama Administration’s American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
