Town Hall Construction 1997
Greece, New York’s Town Hall moved from its long‑time home on West Ridge Road to a new civic center in north Greece. The transition marked the end of an era for a building that had served the community for nearly eight decades; a structure first occupied in 1919 and used until 1998. The move reflected the town’s growth and the need for a more modern, spacious municipal complex. By December 1999, town offices had fully settled into the new Town Hall in north Greece, creating a centralized civic hub better suited to the expanding population. Demolition of the former building began in April 2001, closing the chapter on a landmark that had stood for generations.
