Summary
Holt Architects presented a redesigned 45,000-square-foot Center of Government to the Tompkins County Legislature, keeping the project estimate near $50 million. Cost savings come from moving county administration and HR into the old jail and leasing space for workforce development. Legislators raised concerns about parking, accessibility for front-facing services, and geothermal plans.
