BINGHAMTON, N.Y. — Broome County Executive Jason Garnar has announced the appointment of Hal McCabe as the county’s new deputy county executive for physical services.
In this position, McCabe will oversee 20 departments, “ensuring coordinated operations and strategic investment in Broome County’s infrastructure and physical assets.”
McCabe most recently served as mayor of the Village of Homer in Cortland County from 2017-2025. In that role, he managed a multi-department operation including public works, water and sewer, fire, police, recreation, and code enforcement.
During his tenure, McCabe secured more than $15 million in state and federal grants, including a $10 million Downtown Revitalization Initiative award and $1 million in Restore NY funding, Broome County said.
“Hal has a proven track record of managing complex operations, securing major infrastructure improvements, and delivering real results for the communities he serves,” Garnar said in the announcement. “His leadership and extensive experience across all levels of government will be invaluable as we continue improving Broome County’s infrastructure and services.”
Altogether, McCabe brings more than two decades of experience in public administration, government relations, and political leadership at the local, state, and federal levels, per the Broome County announcement.
“Broome County has been instrumental in shaping the person I am today, instilling in me the values of hard work, resilience, and loyalty. My introduction to municipal service began with a summer job in the Town of Vestal Water Department in 1990, and most of my lifelong friendships were formed right here,” McCabe said. “Having spent more than half my life in Broome County, I am deeply honored to once again serve this community and to work alongside an exceptional team dedicated to building a stronger, brighter future for all our residents.”
