Friday April 7, 2023

Oneida County Legislators have been hearing complaints from residents in South Utica and New Hartford about the dead zone's in Verizon's Cell Phone Coverage, and now something is being done about it. Without cell service local businesses suffer, and there are risks the dead zone brings to possible emergencies. In a meeting outside Ridgewood Market, Senator Schumer announced he's put Verizon on notice with a public letter demanding the company work to fix the problem. Just hours later, Verizon responded to the Senator's office.
