NEW BERLIN — Assemblyman Joseph Angelino (R,C-Norwich) recently inspected a new ambulance for the Village of New Berlin.

The ambulance was purchased using Community Resiliency, Economic Sustainability, and Technology (CREST) Program funding. This new ambulance will provide lifesaving medical services in both Chenango and Otsego Counties in the Towns of New Berlin and Pittsfield.

“I was proud to present New Berlin with this important funding to buy a new ambulance. I am happy to play a small part in keeping our community safe by ensuring local EMS have the equipment and resources available to them to help save lives,” said Angelino.

“Joe understands the needs of this community and he and his team have delivered on his commitment. This funding has helped the Village of New Berlin and New Berlin Ambulance Service navigate the state bureaucracy and moved us from concept to execution and reimbursement in warp speed,” said Mayor Peter Lennon.

Assemblyman Angelino represents the 121st Assembly District, which includes parts of Broome County, Delaware County, Madison County, Chenango County, and Otsego County. Follow Assemblyman Angelino on Facebook.
