As the city/county grow, and available land for development in the CBD lessens (due to many current projects), issues such as Tompkins County's space needs will keep arising. The city has encouraged going up instead of out for new buildings, but many Ithacans complain about losing the small town feeling. The fact is that the CBD needs to expand into residential neighborhoods. With that said, here's an article from the Ithaca Voice:
https://ithacavoice.com/2018/12/tomp...fice-building/ Another Voice article covers the city's last planning board meeting of 2018. Again Nimbys vs development rears up in several projects: https://ithacavoice.com/2018/12/tiny...board-meeting/ Finally a possible big project in Collegetown could be in the future (again from the Voice): https://ithacavoice.com/2018/12/deve...llegetown-buy/ :shrug: |

This could be a really long process, and the responses on Facebook are mostly negative, but that's not unusual for development proposals in Ithaca. In the drawing the new building is next to the red bricked Marriott.
