Cooperstown's DMV

Is Generating 9 Times

What Oneonta's Does

County Board Chairman David Bliss

COOPERSTOWN – The tallying's been done, and it determined the county DMV office in Oneonta generates $500,000 in sales-tax revenues annually, a fraction of the $4.5 million equivalent generated in the Cooperstown one, county board Chair David Bliss, R-Cooperstown/Town of Middlefield, said today.

The county keeps only 12.7 percent of those revenues, but the proportion generated by each office shows the relative amount of activity.

Regardless, said Bliss, the state has withheld permission to reopen the county's Motor Vehicle offices, although all other county offices may reopen, subject to social-distancing restrictions, on Monday, June 8.
