The Town of Greece recently unveiled a plaque officially dedicating the Greece Town Court in honor of former Town Supervisor John (Jack) T. Auberger, recognizing his lasting contributions to the town’s infrastructure and community-focused leadership.
Joining the celebration were Greece Town Supervisor Bill Reilich, former Supervisor John T. Auberger, Deputy Town Supervisor Kirk Morris, and Councilman Bill Murphy, Receiver of Taxes Andrew Conlon, along with town officials and community members.
“Yesterday we honored a man whose legacy is deeply rooted in the progress and growth of the Town of Greece,” said Supervisor Reilich. “Supervisor Auberger’s leadership brought to life a vision of consolidating town services into a centralized campus—one that included relocating our court from a leased strip mall to this modern, permanent home.”
The Greece Town Court, a $3 million, 11,000-square-foot facility located at 4 Vince Tofany Boulevard, now houses two courtrooms – one large enough to accommodate 150 people – separate holding areas for male and female detainees, and full ADA compliance. This move eliminated a $100,000 annual lease the town had paid since 1990, saving taxpayers money and advancing a more efficient future.
“This court is more than just a building. It’s a vital part of how our town functions and upholds the law,” said Supervisor Reilich. “The renovations reflect our dedication to public service at the highest standard.”
The dedication follows the unanimous July 18, 2024 vote by the Greece Town Board to officially name the courthouse the John T. Auberger Court. The naming recognizes Auberger’s thoughtful planning, sound fiscal management, and unwavering commitment to serving the residents of Greece.
“John’s leadership laid the groundwork for facilities like this,” added Supervisor Reilich. “Yesterday’s dedication is a symbol of gratitude, a recognition of service, and a reminder that good leadership leaves a lasting legacy.”
