NORWICH – The Chenango County District Attorney’s Office renewed its request for additional office space Tuesday during a meeting of the Agriculture, Buildings & Grounds Committee.

Chairman Robert D. Briggs said District Attorney Joseph A. McBride’s office had called to inquire about using space at the old sheriff’s office and jail on West Park Place in Norwich.

“I’d hate to have to move them over there temporarily and then have to move them back so the renovations can be completed,” Briggs said.

Committee member Dennis Brown, D-Pharsalia, said the county would be “better off” having the DA’s offices expand their existing space within the County Office Building.
