State has yet to approve lease for employment office, so landlord hasn't been paid in months
Up until January, Genesee County's Job Development Bureau was the lead agency on a lease for office space at the corner of East Main and Clinton streets, but with funding for the bureau getting less certain, director Scott Gage asked the NYS Department of Labor to take over the lease.
A new lease was negotiated, but still hasn't been approved by the state, so the landlord hasn't been paid since February, according to Gage.
"It's not a good situation," Gage told the Ways & Means Committee today.
It's unclear when or how the situation will be resolved.
