DA wants office space at old jail
NORWICH – The Chenango County District Attorney’s Office renewed its request for additional office space Tuesday during a meeting of the Agriculture, Buildings & Grounds Committee.
Chairman Robert D. Briggs said District Attorney Joseph A. McBride’s office had called to inquire about using space at the old sheriff’s office and jail on West Park Place in Norwich.
“I’d hate to have to move them over there temporarily and then have to move them back so the renovations can be completed,” Briggs said.
Committee member Dennis Brown, D-Pharsalia, said the county would be “better off” having the DA’s offices expand their existing space within the County Office Building.
“It would double our security costs if we had some of their offices here and some of them there,” he said.
Though no decisions have been made for occupying the West Park Place structure after it is separated into two office buildings and completed, town supervisors have been leaning toward vacating the board’s large, third floor meeting room and holding supervisors’ monthly meetings over at the new facility.
“We really have two phases of this, moving offices into the new buildings and reconfiguring our space here,” Briggs said.
Board Chairman Richard B. Decker said discussions have been ongoing with various county departments that are interested in relocating across the street. “Everything is pure speculation now,” he said.
City of Norwich Supervisor Linda E. Natoli said the committee should “come up with the best plan to leverage dollars for Chenango County taxpayers” before making any moves. Family Network Services, a division of Chenango County Social Services Department, is currently occupying space in the old jail building.
Architects John Snyder and John Lorence were on hand at the meeting to disseminate an updated site plan for the project, complete with landscaping suggestions. The committee recommended adding more green space between the City of Norwich’s Court Street parking lot and the new office buildings’ parking lot. Weather-related maintenance issues were discussed.
