I didn't get the sense that the presentation of a possible Town Hall layout was a final set of drawings for approval - and I don't remember the board taking any action - but WHCU's web site says:
Dryden Drawings are Final
THE DRAWINGS ARE FINAL FOR A NEW TOWN HALL IN DRYDEN. THE TOWN PURCHASED ROUGHLY 45 ACRES OF LAND ADJACENT TO THE CURRENT TOWN HALL, FROM EMPIRE LIVESTOCK AT THE END OF LAST YEAR.
THE ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS HAS DECLARED ALMOST 30 ACRES OF THE SITE ALONG ROUTE 392, AS WETLANDS. TOWN PLANNER DAN KWASNOWSKI SAYS THE SITE PLAN FOR THE HALL HAD TO BE SHIFTED SLIGHTLY, AS TO NOT EFFECT MORE THAN HALF AN ACRE OF WETLANDS.
KWASNOWSKI SAYS A SEPARATE PARKING LOT WILL BE PLACED AWAY FROM THE TOWN HALL ON NON-WETLANDS. HE SAYS THE TOWN IS NOW WORKING ON A CONCEPT PLAN FOR THE REST OF THE SITE, WHICH WILL BE PUBLIC FACILITES.
ANYONE WHO HAS IDEAS OR SUGGESTIONS FOR THE REMAINING LAND SHOULD CONTACT THE TOWN HALL.
I guess I don't really know how the process for building a new Town Hall is running, though it surfaces periodically at meetings and more frequently in the news media.
WHCU also reports on troubles workers are having getting paid by the now bankrupt Cayuga Millwork, which was on North Road outside the Village of Dryden.
