ITHACA, NY (607NewsNow) — Tompkins County Legislator Randy Brown has identified big challenges for the proposed Center of Government building project. 

Brown, who chairs the Downtown Facilities Special Committee, was recently a guest on Ithaca’s Morning News. He shared progress on the project while also outlining some decisions and challenges that still lay ahead for legislators.

Brown adds moving the IT department is also a challenge. 

Construction on North Tioga Street in downtown Ithaca will likely begin at the end of 2026, with staff moving in either in late 2028 or early 2029, Brown says.
