Bricks & Mortar Report
EDITOR’S NOTE: The Bricks & Mortar Report provides updates on major construction projects in Chenango County.
Chenango County Public Works Department:

• Chenango County DPW crews are scheduled to install a box culvert on county Rt. 38 on Oct. 20.
• Work continues on the pedestrian and biking trail along county Rt. 32 from Oxford to Greene. The new shoulders have been paved and striped. Crews will level the areas beyond the shoulders this week.
Delaware Chenango Madison Otsego (DCMO) BOCES:
• The 108,000 square foot addition and interior renovations are approximately 95 percent finished. Construction continues in the evenings installing light fixtures, tile and other punch list items.
• Steve Perrin, a program director at BOCES, said future work will address the culinary arts kitchen and bakery, a nurse’s office and a human services classroom.
• The new classroom wing that faces East River Road in North Norwich houses special education and alternative education classrooms. Students are currently occupying them.
• The project included a state-of-the-art science lab, library-media center, cafeteria, gymnasium, conference rooms and new technology.
Habitat for Humanity:
• The house’s siding is up and dry walling almost finished. Workers will be begin spackling this week.
• Volunteers broke ground in May for the 1,500 square foot single family home in Greene. Plans are to move a family into the structure by year’s end.
Housing Starts (modular, double wide and stick built):
• Chenango County Codes Enforcement office reported eight housing starts in September. There were two in the Town of Coventry and one each in Preston, Oxford, North Norwich, Columbus, Bainbridge, and Afton.
Mitchell/Silver Streets Apartments:
• The apartment building at the corner of Silver and Mitchell streets in Norwich was recently sold, and with new owners, the multi-family dwelling may soon be cleaned up and ready to accept tenants.
• The multi-unit, corner building was purchased by Hermann Kappel and later vacated.
• The first phase of the project is to gut six apartments. Depending on the condition of the plumbing, Kappel said he hopes to complete the work in December.
• Work on the remaining three units will most likely begin in the spring.
Raymond Corporation:
• Final touches to the 73,000 square foot, $16 million expansion at the Greene-based manufacturer are near completion. The hydraulic cylinder manufacturing cell is completed and moved into the southern end of the new addition.
• The expansion is designed to provide for higher quality paint applications, finished goods, and fabrication. A more durable, powder coat spray paint system for the manufacturer’s fork lift trucks and equipment is nearly complete. Paint trials begin in November.
• Workers are currently installing heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems on the roof.
