The old Corning City courthouse – what to do with it?  Steuben County Democrat Lawmaker asked that of county I.D.A. Director Jamie Johnson.  He’s been in talks recently with someone who is interested in buying the old Corning Courthouse.  "During the AIP meeting I was referencing a financing structure for the Curtiss School which included a Restore NY grant and grant funding allocated to the project through the Urbana/Hammondsport NY Forward funding," Johnson said.  "For the courthouse in Corning there is a committed Restore NY grant from the State but the cost of redevelopment is such that the grant does not cover the funding gap.  Because the City of Corning is considering applying for DRI funding there may be a possibility that this project could leverage additional funding from this program but the reality is that this is likely at least 12 months away from knowing whether the DRI funding could be available,". Johnson explained.
