Yorktown’s municipal government is beginning its reconstruction of the local police plaza today.
The rehabilitation and beautification work at 2281 Crompond Road will fix broken steps at the entrance to the Yorktown Police headquarters and the Justice Court. The project will also replace deteriorated curbs and replace some pavement bricks while adding landscaping and relocating the handicapped parking spots. It will also repair leaks from the plaza into a tunnel between the court and police offices used to securely process detainees.
“It’s a project that has been postponed for decades, but we are getting it done for safety. the public and our police and court personnel,” said Supervisor Tom Diana. “The handicapped parking was on almost a 45-degree angle, which made it very difficult for individuals who were mobility impaired. That’s one of the major items we’re changing.”
The Town Board awarded a $582,630 contract to Con-Tech Construction Technology Inc. of Carmel to perform the work. In January, the Town Board voted to rename the police plaza the in honor of Police Captain Kenneth Sgroi, who died Jan. 2 from a brief illness.
