What it’s like
The place. Millport is a very small village in Chemung County, New York, where everyone lives close to their neighbours. Household incomes run well below the county's, and homes are modestly priced. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and plenty of snow mixed into a moderate year of precipitation, while July is pleasantly warm.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and professional and business services also employing many people. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and the typical commute is a moderate one. Across Chemung County, the largest workplaces include Arnot-ogden Medical Center, the Elmira City School District and Walmart.
Things to do. The Catharine Valley Trail runs in or beside town, handy for a walk without getting in the car. A short drive away are Watkins Glen State Park, a protected natural area, and Watkins Glen International, a well-known race track. A longer drive brings you to the Corning Museum of Glass, a museum devoted to the art and history of glass.
