 If you have business at the Village of Lansing the address is the same, but the building is new. Village employees moved into the completed $1,079,644 Village Hall this week. The 2,662 square foot office building includes offices for the Village Clerk, Code Enforcement, and DPW, a public meeting room and an office for the Mayor and Planning Board Chairman. |
Employees were still moving in this week, making trip after trip from the old Village Office building to the new. 
Architect Vince Nicotra designed the new building.
As you walk in the front door you are in the new municipal meeting room, amply lit by a wall of windows and clearstory windows above. Two large TV screens will display presentations for the Board of Trustees, Planning Board and other meetings.
A window to the left of the main entrance is where Clerk/Treasurer Jodi Dake can be found. Her new office is spacious and bright.
One of the biggest, escalating problems with the old Code Enforcement office was storage space. Blue prints, drawings, proposals all littered the crowded space. That will not be a problem in Code Enforcement/Zoning Officer Marty Moseley's new office, which has plenty of space for storage and meetings.
This room with a view of the old office building is designated for the DPW. Look out the window and you will see employees moving a flat file case to its new digs.
On the plans for the building this office is designated as a spare, but it lookslike someone has already claimed it. Another office next door is for the Mayor and Planning Board Chairman 
The old village office had a kitchen, sort of -- it was a counter in the meeting room. The new hall has a better kitchen in its own space.v10i3
