OWEGO (WBNG) — The Tioga County Legislature passed a resolution Tuesday to correct the U.S Census Bureau’s version of the Broome-Tioga county boundary.

The adjustment will make it so that people are counted in the correct county that they live in.

It will affect 25 people who used to be counted for Broome County but will now be counted for Tioga County.

“Population counts on a lot of things for instance grants and qualifications for other benefits that come from the state and federal government, so we want an accurate count and we want to know how many people actually live in Tioga County,” said Martha Sauerbrey Chair of the Tioga County Legislature.

The difference in some of these areas will be a matter of moving the line from one side of the street to the other.

The changes to the census count boundary will not effect the county lines already in place.
