Tompkins and Cayuga Counties' oldest log cabin came home to Lansing last month, though it's journey is far from over. Built by the North family in the mid-eighteenth century, the cabin has been behind the Cayuga Museum in Auburn for 49 years. When museum officials decided to use the space for other purposes, the Town of Lansing faced deadline for removing the building -- or it would be demolished and removed. "It's all here now," says Deputy Highway Superintendent Charlie Purcell. "The next step is deciding where they want to place it."
 The cabin rests in a 'controlled pile' on Highway Department premises

 New Structure on Biggs Site or NYSEG Headquarters Considered for Health Department
Giving the Legislature its first look at options for a new Health Department Building, the committee that has been studying the matter for the past six months told legislators it should decide whether to construct a new building on county-owned land near the current Biggs complex or move the department to existing facilities, at the New York State Electric and Gas building on Route 13 in Dryden.
Tuesday was the first time that it was publicly revealed that the NYSEG facility is under consideration. Legislators were told that these “east side/west side” options are, in the Health Department Building Committee’s judgment, the best of a number of potential alternatives considered during the committee’s study. Legislators spent an hour in executive session, where committee members, planning staff and the County’s consultant from LaBella Associates reviewed financial aspects of the alternate proposals. Legislators have been asked to raise questions and tell the committee additional information that they need to make an informed decision.

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, U.S. Representative Michael A. Arcuri (D-Utica) announced that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has awarded the Greater Binghamton Airport a total of $365,750 to purchase snow removal equipment and enhance runway safety by removing current obstructions.
“I am pleased to announce two more grants to help The Greater Binghamton Airport improve services and security as a key part of economic growth and development for the Southern Tier,” said Arcuri, a member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee which is responsible for authorizing funds through the FAA. “These funds will help the airport make takeoffs and landings safer in all seasons so that the airport can continue to serve as a point of growth and development in the Southern Tier.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S Representative Michael A. Arcuri (D-Utica) continued his opposition to the Social Security Administration’s (SSA) proposal to close the office in Auburn by requesting a meeting with SSA officials in Washington. “I am in no way convinced that the Social Security Administration has thoroughly considered the ramifications of closing their Auburn office,” Arcuri said. “I’ve asked them to provide me with a detailed account of the productivity of the office and how many beneficiaries will be adversely affected by the closing. We know that the baby-boomer generation is on the cusp of retirement and that many local residents do not have the means or the mobility to travel long distances for much-needed services. I am requesting a personal meeting with SSA officials to present them with the concerns of our local seniors.”
