Village Continues with Community Center Repairs

The Village continues to move forward with repairs and updates to the Lindenhurst Community Center, on the DAV side (where the Disabled American Veterans used to occupy and Lindenhurst sports little leagues now occupy) and the Rainbo Senior Center side.

At Tuesday night's Board meeting at Village Hall, the Board of Trustees approved several resolutions to move things along.

For one, the Village awarded the ($50,500) contract for new lights and ceiling at the Rainbow Senior Center the Center to Bay Shore-based Patriot organization. This’ll be paid with Federal Community Development Block Grant funds.

The Board also awarded the ($7,000) contract for engineering services for the rehabilitation of the West masonry wall of the Community Center to Northport-based Conrad F. Pohlmann. This will be paid with 2009 Bond - Community Center Building Renovations.

The trustees also approved final payment ($2,580) to Bay Shore-based R&W Engineers for engineering/architectural services for the renovation of the men's and women's restrooms at the Rainbow Center that'll be paid with Federal Community Development Block Grant funds.

"Major renovations need to be done on the Center, but right now we're just getting the basic structural fixes done," Village Administrator Cullinane said, adding the last time the approximately 75-year-old building Center was renovated was in the late 1980s.

The Village acquired the building in the early 1970s after it served as an elementary school.
