Johnson City, New York

Johnson City is a village in Broome County, New York, United States.

Johnson City lies to the west of Binghamton on the eastern side of the town of Union.

However, the deindustrialization that occurred across the United States impacted Johnson City heavily.

The loss of nearly all industry in the span of a couple decades left the economy of Upstate New York, and thus Johnson City, devastated and in recession, explaining in part the village's population decline over time.

[2] Over the past decade, new revitalization efforts led by the expansion of United Health Services and Binghamton University have rejuvenated the area tremendously.

In January 2007, a group of residents organized a petition supporting dissolution of the village for tax reasons.

Your Home Library, founded in 1917, serves the village of Johnson City and the surrounding area.

The library building was originally the old Brigham homestead, erected in 1850, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.

The Binghamton University Decker health sciences campus is located on Corliss Ave, in the blocks bounded by Arch St, Broad St, and Willow St. Johnson City is also located across the Susquehanna River from Binghamton University's main campus, which is in Vestal, New York.
