ITHACA, NY (607NewsNow) – Tompkins County could soon learn who will lead the Center of Government building project.

On December 10, Facilities Director Arel LeMaro said they are hard at work on a deal with an architect and engineering consulting team.

With early projections of welcoming departments sometime in 2028, the project timeline has changed slightly.

 

With the future building residing in a historic district, LeMaro adds the county can begin discussions with the State Historic Preservation Office about design limitations and potential funding once the consultant team is hired.
