Civic Center an Historic Icon

I've been reading with much interest about the possibility of Village offices moving out of the Civic Center to a new site. While moving the Police Dept. seems logical, I really don't think it makes sense to move all of the offices from the downtown area. The Civic Center is a hub of activity for the Village and draws people to town, similar to having the Post Office downtown. If it's a space concern, after moving the Police Dept. to a new location, wouldn't that free up space in the Civic Ctr. for the rest of the staff to expand into? Quite a few organizations hold meetings in the Civic Center. It's a public facility that serves many purposes and is an historic icon for the Village, too.
