Bricks & Mortar Report
EDITOR’S NOTE: The Bricks & Mortar Report provides updates on major construction projects in Chenango County.
City of Norwich Wastewater Treatment Plant:
• City officials are awaiting consent from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation before moving forward with a $4.5 million project to replace the plant’s 18 rotating biological contactors. Public Works Superintendent Carl Ivarson said the consent would relieve the city from construction permit requirements because the project involves affluent discharge.
• The next step in the now five-year old project would be to finish up plans and specifications by the first of the year and then submit them to the NYSDEC for approval. The project could go to bid sometime in January with work commencing in April.
• The new filters are guaranteed for 15 years. They replace 20-year old filters that are “literally falling apart,” Ivarson said.
• The city received a $4.5 million loan at 2.7 percent interest from the United States Department of Agriculture’s Rural Development Agency.
Guilford Town Hall:
• The floor was poured for the Town of Guilford Highway Garage two weeks ago and officials are waiting for it to completely cure before erecting the prefabricated metal building, said Project Manager Brian Treffersen.
• In the meantime, contractors have addressed the adjacent Town Hall. The building is up, the roof is on, windows and doors installed and a 107- foot deep artesian well completed.
• Siding on the 3,000 square foot Town Hall it slated to go up this week. Interior projects in the works include electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilation and air systems.
• Treffersen said a completion date has not been established due to winter weather uncertainties.
• The town’s project on Marble Hill Road is estimated to cost $1.65 million. The garage is 10,400 square feet.
Habitat for Humanity:
• Volunteer work crews in Greene have installed the ceiling, doors and molding, painted, and completed other interior work over the past two weeks.
• Attention turns to the floors next, with carpet and linoleum planned for installation this week.
• About 20 contractors and layman have volunteered their services on mostly Saturdays since May to build this 1,500 square foot single family home in Greene. Project Manager Olin Miller said no date has been set for the family to move in, but said, “It’s getting close.”
Housing Starts (modular, double wide and stick built):
• Chenango County Codes Enforcement office reported five housing starts in October, one each in the towns of Plymouth, Pharsalia, Smithville and Preston, and one in the Village of Afton.
