Kiosks offering service information to veterans will be installed at several locations on Long Island and in the Southern Tier of New York State, according to a press release from the governor's office. Six kiosks will be installed at welcome centers and transit hubs and serve as a gateway for veterans to learn about more than 60 state programs and services for which they may be eligible.

Kiosks are already located at the Long Island Welcome Center on the Long Island Expressway in Dix Hills and the Veterans, Service Members and Gold Star Families memorial room at the Tompkins County Airport in Ithaca. Those kiosks join another already online at the Capital Region Welcome Center in New Baltimore.

Six other kiosks will be installed after they are delivered at the following locations: Adirondacks Welcome Center (Interstate 87, Queensbury); Finger Lakes Welcome Center (Lake Front Drive, Geneva); Mohawk Valley Welcome Center (Interstate 90, Fultonville); North Country Welcome Center (Collins Landing Road, Alexandria Bay); Southern Tier Welcome Center (Interstate 81, Kirkwood); and Western New York Welcome Center (Alvin Road, Grand Island).
