ITHACA, N.Y. (WHCU) — Tompkins County leaders are hoping to build a stylish center of government.

Legislator Mike Lane says the exterior of the building should be charming, despite the potential cost.

Legislator Deborah Dawson also wants an attractive center of government. She says the price for decorative elements would be reasonable.

The building would be on North Tioga Street in Ithaca, which is part of a historic district.
