The Wyoming County Board of Supervisors and Wyoming County Office of Emergency
Services are honored to announce the receipt of funds resulting from the U.S. Senate passing the
FY24 Appropriations Bill on Friday March 22, 2024. A total of $58,000 was secured as a
congressionally directed spending request by U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer

Training Center as a fully functional EOC.
