Our Village

Welcome to the Village of Johnson City! From our very beginning, this community has been rooted in the belief that when people look out for one another, everyone benefits. Here, life is built on shared responsibility — where strong neighborhoods, welcoming public spaces, small businesses, schools, faith communities, and civic institutions all work together to create a place where people can thrive.

Johnson City’s importance extends far beyond its history. Today, we continue to play a vital role in the economic, educational, and healthcare future of our region. We are proud to be home to Binghamton University’s Health and Science Campus, including the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences and the Decker School of Nursing and Health Sciences, which bring innovation, learning, and opportunity to our community every day.

Our village is also experiencing meaningful growth and reinvestment. From the transformation of the former Oakdale Mall into Oakdale Commons, to expanded housing opportunities, the UHS Hospital complex, and many other public and private investments, Johnson City is building a future that honors its past while embracing progress. These efforts reflect our commitment to strengthening the local economy, supporting education and healthcare, and positioning Johnson City as a destination to live, work, and visit.

Most importantly, Johnson City is defined by its people. Whether you are here to live, work, learn, serve, raise a family, start a business, or simply spend time in our community, you are part of what makes Johnson City special. Your presence, your voice, and your participation help shape who we are and who we are becoming.

On behalf of the Village — welcome. We are glad you are here.

Sincerely,
Mayor Christina Charuk

Home of the “Crown Jewel” Collection

The Village is the proud home to the “Crown Jewel” of Broome County’s unique collection of six wooden carousels donated by the George F. Johnson family in the 1920′s. One of the largest remaining carousels in the country, it contains 4 rows of 72 horses. In 1993 the horses, scenic panels & rounding boards were completely restored returning them to their original beauty. In 2010 the eighteen sided, two story pavilion and cupola housing the carousel was restored. Located in CJF Park, the carousel has been run free of charge since its installation. This is another powerful legacy of the Johnson family.
