Village of Lansing Planning Board members have been working with Triax Management Group, L.L.C. for months on a project that will bring an 82,000 square foot retail building, 12 senior housing units, wetlands and a bird sanctuary to The Shops at Ithaca Mall. Tuesday it was revealed that BJ's Wholesale Club is the store that will be moving into the new building.
"It's been a long process," says Triax Principal Partner Eric Goetzmann. "We've been working with the Village which has been very supportive. We're excited to move forward and get this moving along so they have a store that is up and operating. We have a commitment to move forward with this now, to open BJ's as soon as possible. We'd like to see that happen in Spring of next year."
The usefulness of data coming from a community survey to be used in helping to determine long term goals for the Lansing Central School District was challenged at last Monday's Board of Education meeting. District officials are working with consulting firm PLC Associates, Inc. to build out a five year strategic plan that will influence all aspects of long and short term planning including budget and curriculum development, and capital needs. Board members said that rather than a scientific, random sample approach, the survey is likely to simply reflect the opinions of people who wanted to take the survey.
"All these data show is what these 308 people felt, but it's not representative of Lansing," said board member Christine Iacobucci. "It doesn't say anything about our community."
Out with the old, in with the new. That's what it seemed would happen when the Myers Park Playground Project (MP3) came along. Over the years the old playground equipment had worn away, or new safety standards declared them unsafe. But Park Superintendent Steve Colt started getting calls from people who had fond memories of the old equipment.
"I can personally remember playing on it when I was a kid," Colt says. "The four way spring toy and some of the older spring toys have to be over 40 years old."
Local artist Robin Schuttenberg was also interested in the fate of the spring toys. She made Colt an offer: if the Parks and Recreation Department would pay for the materials, she would paint the animal pieces. On Wednesday Colt was raving about the results, citing the depth of detail and the whimsical make-over she has achieved.
If you think building a house is hard, try rebuilding one with no money, tools, or materials! That was the challenge the Town of Lansing faced when former Councilman Bud Shattuck started his campaign to save Lansing's (an Tompkins and Cayuga Counties) oldest log cabin. The first phase was rescuing it from the Cayuga Museum in Auburn, which had no further use for it. That was Shattuck's piece. Next Ed LaVigne and the Lansing Community Council raised the money to get the cabin reassembled in Myers Park. The last piece is the chinking (the mudding that insulates between the logs), the doors, and the windows. Enter Carl Coté and Results Renovation and Repair, who are donating their time and skills to the project. Last weekend the chinking on the cabin exterior was completed.
"Our objective is to get the outside of the cabin all chinked before the Lansing Harbor Festival on August 14th," Coté says. "We'll have a door that allows the inside to be accessible. By this Fall we'll definitely have both doors and the windows completed. The inside chinking may occur late this Fall. We'd be able to keep some heat in there if need be, so we can do it in cooler temperatures."
Seneca Falls- New York State Senator Mike Nozzolio blasted Governor Paterson’s veto of legislation that would restore the New York State Legislature's oversight and approval of any agreement or compact with representatives of the Indian Nations in New York State.
“Despite warnings from myself and my colleagues, the Democratic Majority that now controls the State Legislature, approved legislation that Governor Paterson included in his last budget extender giving the Governor and all future governors, the power to negotiate a compact or agreement with representatives of New York's Indian Nations without legislative approval. This legislation essentially empowers the Governor to negotiate unilaterally and eliminates the Legislature from having any oversight or approval of the decisions the Governor makes.” said Nozzolio.
Local governments and school districts across New York have lost a significant amount of revenue as a result of the Great Recession, according to the 2010 Annual Report on Local Governments released today by New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli. While there are some indications that New York’s economy is beginning to stabilize, the road to fiscal health will not be an easy one, DiNapoli said.
“In many respects, the true pain of the recession is continuing to be felt by local governments in New York,” DiNapoli said. “Local governments have lost hundreds of millions of dollars in local and state revenue. The road to recovery will likely be a long and tough one. In some cases, it could take years of sustained growth for revenue to return to the levels prior to the recession."
