The Village of Hancock is located
140 miles northwest of New York City and 38 miles east of the
Binghamton metropolitan area.
The Village is conveniently located on the
border between New York State and Pennsylvania on the Southern
Tier Expressway (NYS Route 17) at Exit 87, which is a four lane
limited access highway.
Route 17 has been nominated to become Interstate
86.
Cutting through the Catskills from Harriman
in the east to Erie, PA, Route 17 has become a major thoroughfare
from New York City to the western parts of the state and beyond.
Hancock's central location in the northeast
is emphasized by the proximity of Interstate 81 (42 miles to
the west on Route 17) and Interstate 88 (35 miles to the north).
Due to Hancock's central location in the
northeast, major services, employment, shopping, and recreational
and cultural activities are available. |
