Yorktown Celebrates Completed Renovation Of Police Plaza

YORKTOWN, NY — The town of Yorktown celebrated the completed renovation of the police plaza.

The reconstruction project at 2281 Crompond Road included repairing broken steps at the entrance to police headquarters and justice court, replacing deteriorated curbs, adding landscaping, replacing bricks with pavement and moving handicapped parking.

Deputy Supervisor Ed Lachterman said the renovation project was very important to Supervisor Tom Diana who died in January.

“It’s a great pleasure to see that his dream and vision was brought to fruition here,” he said. “One of the things that he was proud of — and that I know I’m very proud of — is that in this job we used four local labor unions with the contractor.”

In June, the Town Board awarded a $582,630 contract to Con-Tech Construction Technology Inc. to perform the work, which was completed on time and within budget, a spokesman for the town said.

Con-Tech employed organized labor for the project, including Local 235 Laborers, Local 446 Teamsters, Local 60 Laborers and Local 137 Operating Engineers.

New landscaping replaced a retaining wall and some steps to beautify the entrance and create a greener environment.

The renovation also repaired leaks from the plaza into a tunnel between the court and police offices used to securely process detainees.
