The town hall is more elegant than most for this size town. It has white trim and pillars in front with a glass door and brick around it. The building has a beige siding with large glass windows and door. There are shrubs planted in front with two benches by the door. There is a pitched roof and a covered entrance.
From the town website under village: (note that in New York towns contain multiple villages and hamlets so the village of Candor is only a part of the Town of Candor.)
"At one time, the Ithaca and Owego Railroad ran through Candor, later becoming the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, and was one of the first railroads in the country (1834). It stopped operation in 1956. Glove, blanket, and shoe factories, flour mills, and brick yards were in operation through the early part of the 20th century. The Catatonk Creek running through the village provided sufficient water energy to run the many businesses between the Upper and Lower Mill Ponds. Throughout the town’s smaller communities, additional waterways provided enough energy for creameries, mills, and factories to function.
But with the centralization of schools in 1936, the dawning of automobiles and buses, and the shift in lifestyles, Candor Village became the hub of activity. Citizens were able to go farther afield, faster, and the smaller communities couldn’t keep up with the times. Today, many of these little hamlets in Candor are remembered by road or street names. Businesses have changed with the times. To keep pace, Candor’s families have turned from subsistence farming to large dairy operations, specialty and/or organic farming, and local tourism opportunities. Candor maintains a rural atmosphere, as well as a cosmopolitan one."

"The Town Board finds that if development of Solar Farms and Solar Power Plants in the Town proceeds under the current Zoning Law it will lessen the ability of the Town to plan for its orderly development and protect the public health, safety and general welfare of the Town’s citizens. Thus, the Town Board further finds and determines that it needs a period of time covered by the moratorium imposed herein in order to carefully review and complete the amendment of the Zoning Law to adopt regulations for Solar Farms and Solar Power Plants, schedule and hold the required public hearing(s), perform the appropriate environmental reviews, comply with applicable provisions of law, adopt the local law(s), and file the same with the Secretary of State of the State of New York."
