The Neighborhood Depot

The Neighborhood Depot is a new construction project located outside of the floodplain at 143 North Avenue in the Village of Owego (VOO). This 15,000 SF facility will host several nonprofits including; Tioga United Way, Tioga County Rural Ministry, Catholic Charities of Tompkins Tioga; Racker, and allow them to share resources, create jobs, meet community needs and act as a disaster recovery center. This community center will address an abundance of needs in Tioga County for the vulnerable and under-served. Partnering organizations provide services and programs for early childhood services, people with disabilities, poverty stricken families, immigrant services and various other community needs. Currently many of these nonprofits are located outside of the VOO, and due to lack of public transportation are not easily accessible. This project will improve quality of life, revitalize/improve the visual aesthetics of North Avenue in coordination with the VOO s DRI Local Planning Committee vision, promote a shared services concept by reducing the overhead spending for nonprofits in Tioga County and allow organizations to use that money to hire more staff and provide additional services.
