Info
Government Plaza is a building complex in Binghamton, New York containing the offices for the City of Binghamton, Broome County and New York State. The complex is located in Downtown Binghamton on the block bounded by State, Hawley, Isbell and Susquehanna streets. It was constructed as part of a massive urban renewal plan in Binghamton through the late 1960s and early 1970s.Government Plaza is composed of three buildings which come together to form a U-shaped complex:
the towering 18-story State Office Building, which is the tallest building in the Southern Tier region of New York
the Edwin L. Crawford County Office Building, which forms the east-wing of the complex
Binghamton City Hall, which forms the west-wing.An elevated plaza that originally led to the second-story lobby of the State Office Building was torn down in the mid-1990s due to deterioration and increasing maintenance costs.
