COVID-19 restrictions in Chemung and Tioga counties lifted by governor

Elmira Star-Gazette Businesses in Elmira and elsewhere affected by state-mandated COVID-19 restrictions received good news when Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Wednesday announced he is lifting all orange and yellow zone designations statewide. Cuomo in October imposed the restrictions on specific areas due to skyrocketing positive cases of the coronavirus.  Parts of Chemung County  including the City of Elmira, Village of Elmira Heights and Village and Town of Horseheads  were included in an orange zone, meaning restaurants were limited to takeout and delivery only and other businesses considered nonessential, including gyms, nail salons and barber shops, had to close. Gyms and fitness centers were eventually allowed to reopen with limited capacity, and personal care businesses could reopen as long as employees providing services were tested weekly for COVID-19. 

Former Elmira Star-Gazette building sold to arts organization

Elmira Star-Gazette The former Star-Gazette building, which has sat vacant for more than five years, has a new owner with a new vision for the sprawling facility. Juvenal Reis, owner of New York City-based Reis Studios, purchased the 50,000-square-foot building from Gannett Co. Inc. at a November auction for $215,000, and closed the sale in late December. The Star-Gazette moved its offices out of the building at 201 Baldwin St. in late 2015 and the edifice has sat idle since then. There has been considerable interest in the building, but also concerns about possible environmental issues. Reis Studios provides studio and gallery space for New York City artists, and Reis wants to create the same sort of facility in Elmira.
