Local courts receive grant money from state
GUILFORD – Several local courts were awarded a piece of a $5 million state grant last week to help improve their technology and computer equipment.
Assemblyman Cliff Crouch and State Senator James L. Seward announced that the four Chenango County courts along with other town and village courts were being awarded grants from the Justice Court Assistance Program.
“Many of our historic local town and village courts often operate on limited resources due to the budgetary constraints of local governments. The Justice Court Assistance Program provides important assistance for our local courts to ensure they can continue their vital role within the community,” said Crouch.
The Town of Guilford received $10,770, the Town of Smithville received $370, the Village of Greene was awarded $2,765 and the Town of Sherburne was awarded $737.67.
Since 1999, the program has provided state assistance to the town and village courts across New York State.
“Many of our rural town and village courts don’t have the funds to get helpful equipment like computers and fax machines,” Seward said.
Nearly $5 million was awarded statewide as part of the program.
Funded by the towns and villages they serve, New York’s nearly 1,500 justice courts preside over non-felony criminal and motor vehicle prosecutions, small civil claims and landlord-tenant disputes.
“They provide a source of local and state revenue, and their ability to process cases and information promptly is essential to maintaining a statewide comprehensive criminal history database, as well as the operation of programs that protect domestic violence victims and keep drunken drivers off the road,” said Seward.
