County preps for final phase of office relocation project
NORWICH – Chenango County legislators are between phase two and phase three of a three-phase office relocation project that has been years in the making.
After the successful move of the Chenango County Court offices from the County Office Building to the Eaton Center in the fall of 2014, crews underwent phase two: moving the county’s legislative offices from the 1991 wing of the County Office Building to the second floor of the building’s west side.
With phase two now complete, county officials aim to start phase three – relocating the mental hygiene offices from a leased facility on Leilani’s Way in the Town of Norwich to the vacant space left by the legislative offices in the 1991 wing. But in order for phase three to be executed, building renovations have to made to adhere to state and federal requirements for mental health offices.
Last month, the County Board of Supervisors unanimously adopted a resolution authorizing a bid to Richard W. Wakeman, Inc. of Sidney for renovations to the 1991 wing at a price tag of $183,341. Plans are to foot expenses by using funds from the county surplus.
County officials say the plan is to have renovations complete and the mental hygiene services relocated to the County Office Building before the lease on the Leilani’s Way facility expires at the end of April.
During an organizational meeting of the Chenango County Board of Supervisors held on Friday, Chairman Lawrence Wilcox called the relocation project one of the greatest accomplishments of the past three years.
“Our public facilities department worked tirelessly and very professionally to make this move a seamless event,” he said, giving additional credit to the board and to Public Facilities Director Julie Gates. “The cooperation of all departments involved with these changes is greatly appreciated.”
The shuffle of Chenango County offices was put into motion to satisfy mandates of the New York State Unified Court System which required the county to find more floor space to accommodate a growing number of county, family and surrogate court cases in the Sixth Judicial District.
